Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 set to launch Agnipariksha; logo out on host Mohanlal’s birthday

What else could a Bigg Boss Malayalam fan ask for! The logo of the upcoming eighth season is out, and that too on superstar host Mohanlal's birthday. For the first time ever, the logo release has been done through a promo featuring the host announcing yet another surprise.

The teaser starts with a voice-over of people sharing their concern about not getting into the show since they are commoners. Superstar Mohanlal, in his iconic moustache look, hears the same and says that he can very well relate to the emotions of a commoner. “I was also a commoner when I came into the industry as Narendran in Manjil Virinja Pookkal. I know the apprehensions and sorrow of a commoner,” he says.

Further in the video, the host announces that this time the show will welcome more commoner contestants, but with a special pre-launch event.

“Bigg Boss Malayalam stands out with the inclusion of commoners in the show, and this time it is going to be more. Ahead of the premiere, there will be a special show to showcase the talents of commoners, who can eventually enter Bigg Boss. Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 Agnipariksha — Your Ticket to Fame,” he announces.

The commoner selection event, Agnipariksha, was recently seen in Bigg Boss Telugu Season 9, where a special talent hunt show was conducted to select the commoner contestants for the show. The show, judged by former contestants, threw different challenges at the commoners, and the selected ones got into the show, which was themed ‘Celebrity vs Commoner’. Notably, Kalyan Padala, a commoner contestant, had lifted the trophy in Nagarjuna Akkineni’s show too.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 is expected to have its grand launch by September. The last season of the show crowned TV actress Anumol as the winner. Commoner contestant Aneesh emerged as the first runner-up.

 

On the birthday of superstar host Mohanlal, the Bigg Boss Malayalam team surprised fans by unveiling the logo of the upcoming season. Along with the logo release, the host also announced that the season will feature a pre-launch show to select commoner contestants. Just like the previous seasons, this year’s logo is also packed with intricate details that could possibly hint at the theme and tone of the season. Ready for the dissection? Here are 8 hidden details in the logo.
The colour toneReminiscent of the colour tones used in the logos of Seasons 3 and 5, the team has opted for a red-and-gold theme this time. The golden-coloured logo set against the fiery red backdrop makes it visually striking.

Number 8, The major highlight of the logo is the inclusion of the season number within the design itself. The number 8 stands out prominently with a golden outline and a tinge of red inside. Notably, the eye symbols are placed within the number.
Two lenses Interestingly, for the first time ever, the design features two lenses, aka eyes, in the logo. Could this possibly hint at a theme similar to the Commoner vs Celebrity format seen in Bigg Boss Telugu??

A new emotional family drama titled Maryade Ramanna is all set to make its way to Kannada television screens soon. The serial promises a blend of family values, emotions, romance, and drama, centred around two individuals who come from completely different worlds.

The story follows Ramanna, a fearless wrestler from Malligepura who is known for his strength and determination inside the wrestling arena.

After the premiere episode, the cooks got their first task of the show, and it was to cook a dish that reflected their personality. Well, the twist was not that; the cooks were given a hindrance, a large glove, a fun prop made in the shape of a fork and spoon, or swaddles. In short, the pookies were asked to do the cooking following the instructions of their cooks.

However, the cooks were given time intervals where they could remove the hindrances, and all of them managed to finish the task.
 

The tasting session started with Sandhyamma presenting her dish, Kappa and Crab Roast. When the judges asked about the story behind it, she narrated how this dish had changed her life.
 

"This dish changed my life. I had made the same dish for Sujith Bhakthan when he visited, and it went viral online. It was that video that brought the biggest twist in our lives," she said.

On the other hand, Sabareesh presented a Spanish tortilla, which failed to impress both the judges, Chef Nalan and Bhavana.
When Anumol was impressed with the Chicken Thoran, Ansiba also gained appreciation for her Ghee rice and Kozhi Mulakittathu combo. Sabumon tried to impress the judges with his flair for cooking Muthabal and Indian Paratha. Suchithra Nair picked her favorite prawn biryani recipe, and she managed to get good comments.

Further, when Mahi impressed the judges with his Donne Biriyani, Geo presented his iconic Crab Roast in the round. While sharing the story behind the Crab Roast, Geo recollects the incident of cooking the same dish for a fanboy who was fighting a life-threatening disease.

After the tasting, Judge Nalan was seen taking a strong stance that he has got enough fun in the round and warned the contestants to be serious in the competition from the next round. Though there was no winner in the round, the chef appreciated Sandhyamma, Anumol, Ansiba, and Mahi for their dishes.

2026 Bigg Boss Tamil, Malayamal, Telugu, Kannada

Bigg Boss Kannada 13 buzz grows as viral Kichcha Sudeep video floods social media

The excitement surrounding Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13 has reached a new high after a viral social media video claimed that the much-awaited reality show would begin in just 143 days. However, the promo that has been widely circulated online has now been identified as an AI-generated fake. Bigg Boss Kannada, one of the most popular reality shows on Kannada television, has completed 12 successful seasons and continues to enjoy a massive fan base. From heated arguments and emotional breakdowns to controversies and unexpected friendships, the show has consistently kept audiences hooked. Ever since the conclusion of Season 12, viewers have been eagerly waiting for updates about the next edition.

The anticipation became even stronger after Kichcha Sudeep confirmed his return as the host. Earlier, the actor had shocked fans by announcing that he would step away from the show after Season 11. However, he later revealed that he had agreed to continue for four more seasons, much to the delight of viewers.
Amid this excitement, an Instagram page named “bbkseason13” recently shared a video claiming that Bigg Boss Kannada Season 13 would premiere after 143 days. The clip features what appears to be Sudeep introducing “new contestants” and “new games” while hinting that the upcoming season would once again be packed with “fire, madness and hidden anger.”

The promo looked convincingly real at first glance, leading many fans to believe it was an official announcement. However, it was later discovered that the video had been created using Artificial Intelligence. The fake promo appears to have been designed purely to attract attention and gain views by taking advantage of the growing hype around the reality show.
To make the content appear more authentic, the creators even used the name “Colors Super” for the profile. Interestingly, the comment section on the post was disabled, possibly to avoid criticism and prevent viewers from exposing the video as fake.

Despite being AI-generated, the clip managed to fool several social media users, once again highlighting how advanced AI-created content has become. The incident also reflects the enormous craze for Bigg Boss Kannada, with fans eagerly waiting for every small update related to the show.

Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 to premiere in September?

Bigg Boss Malayalam fans are eagerly awaiting an update from the makers of the new season. The superstar Mohanlal-hosted show is round the corner, and fans have now got their first hint about it.

The social media buzz kickstarted after the makers shared a poster online inviting applications for various crew positions. The post mentioned openings for producers, creative writers, and other production-related roles, immediately catching the attention of fans. Soon after the post was shared, discussions about the possible launch date also began online. Though there are speculations that the show might launch in August, our sources in the industry hint that viewers may have to wait a little longer, as the show is expected to premiere only in September.

According to industry insiders, the channel airing the show is presently focused on wrapping up the latest season of Star Singer, which is nearing its grand finale. The reality singing competition has been one of the major weekend attractions for the channel and is expected to continue for at least two more months. Notably, Star Singer previously had a break in the season due to the launch of Bigg Boss Malayalam 7, after which the show resumed once Bigg Boss concluded.

Along with Star Singer, the channel has also recently launched the comedy-cookery reality show Comedy Cooks, which has already started gaining audience attention. Sources indicate that the show is expected to continue for at least another two months. Since two reality shows are already occupying the slot, viewers may have to wait a little longer for Bigg Boss Malayalam to return.


However, there is another happy update for viewers to rejoice over, as host Mohanlal had earlier confirmed that he would be returning to host the show this season as well. During an event, the actor shared that he had renewed his contract with the makers for another three years.


Bigg Boss Malayalam 7 concluded after declaring TV actress Anumol as the winner. While Aneesh emerged as the runner-up, the third place was secured by Nevin.
