Bigg Boss Malayalam fans are buzzing with excitement after the announcement of Bigg Boss Malayalam 8. In a teaser released on host Mohanlal's birthday, the superstar revealed that the upcoming season would be a golden opportunity for commoners. The short video disclosed that the season will feature Agnipariksha, a pre-launch event designed to select commoner contestants. This announcement has sent fans into a frenzy. While the makers have yet to release full details about Agnipariksha, here are five key things we know about the first-ever pre-launch event in Malayalam.
Commoner Audition
As in previous seasons, commoner contestants will be required to send their introduction videos to the makers through the official website. However, this time, instead of selecting just one or two individuals for the next stage, more than 10 contestants will be chosen to participate in Agnipariksha.
What Is Agnipariksha?
Following the format used in the last season of Bigg Boss Telugu, Agnipariksha is a compact game show where commoner contestants will undergo a series of tasks to prove their competency. These tasks range from physical challenges to analytical tests, ensuring a variety of interesting and demanding trials for participants.
Judges
In the Telugu version, former contestants Abijeet Duddala, Bindu Madhavi, and Navdeep served as judges for the pre-show. Therefore, it is likely that some daring former contestants of Bigg Boss Malayalam will take on judging duties in Agnipariksha as well.
How Many Will Enter the Show?
In the Telugu version, five contestants made it into the main show. For the Malayalam edition, a similar number of commoners is expected to enter the competition. Additionally, reports suggest that Agnipariksha may feature contestants entering the show based on both judges' decisions and public votes.
When and Where to Watch Agnipariksha?
According to sources, Bigg Boss Malayalam Agnipariksha is expected to launch in mid-August. The show will have exclusive OTT streaming on JioHotstar.
Want to Know Something Exciting?
There is insider information suggesting that this season of Bigg Boss may have a same-day premiere across all its language versions. Since the first teasers for the Kannada and Tamil editions have already been released, we can expect Mohanlal, Vijay Sethupathi, and Kiccha Sudeep to launch their respective shows on the same day.
