The much-awaited third season of the popular reality show Bigg Boss Malayalam is expected to premiere soon. The first two seasons, hosted by Mohanlal, were quite a hit on Malayalam TV. The promo of the third season was launched on Monday. Mohanlal shared the promo of the new season, reiterating the popular phrase of show business: “The show must go on.” The promo also showcases how society has evolved during the pandemic.
The promo is creating a huge buzz among the TV audience. In the promo, Mohanlal stated that the COVID-19 pandemic has altered our lifestyles and the way we go about our business. With the pandemic still on, the makers of the show will follow the COVID-19 safety protocols. The new season of the show is also expected to feature 16 to 17 contestants from different walks of life.
The Bigg Boss house for the third season will be set up in EVP film city, Chennai. Bigg Boss Tamil, hosted by Kamal Haasan, is being shot in the same location since the past four years and Malayalam season 2 was also shot in the same location.
The first two seasons of Bigg Boss Malayalam were quite successful thanks to the high voltage drama and budding love stories.
