Bigg Boss Malayalam 8: 5 Things We Know So Far About the Upcoming Agnipariksha

Bigg Boss Malayalam fans are excited following the announcement of Bigg Boss Malayalam 8. In the teaser released on host Mohanlal's birthday, the superstar announced that the new season of the show would be a golden opportunity for commoners. In the short video, he revealed that the season would feature Agnipariksha, a pre-launch event to select the commoner contestants. Soon after the announcement, fans began going gaga over it. Although the makers are yet to announce more details about Agnipariksha, here are five things we know about the first-ever pre-launch event in Malayalam.

Commoner Audition

Just like in the previous seasons, commoner contestants will be asked to send their introduction videos to the makers through the official website. However, this time, not just one or two people will be selected for the next stage; instead, more than 10 contestants will be picked for the Agnipariksha.

What Is Agnipariksha?

Following the format used in the last season of Bigg Boss Telugu, Agnipariksha is a small game show in which commoner contestants will undergo a series of tasks to prove their competency. From physical challenges to analytical tasks, there will be a range of interesting and demanding tests awaiting them.

Judges?

In the Telugu version, former contestants Abijeet Duddala, Bindu Madhavi, and Navdeep served as judges for the pre-show. Therefore, we can expect some of the daring former contestants of Bigg Boss Malayalam to take on judging duties in Agnipariksha as well.

How Many Will Enter the Show?

In the Telugu version, five contestants made it into the show. In Malayalam, however, we can expect a similar number of commoners to enter the competition. On the other hand, there are reports that Agnipariksha may feature contestants entering the show based on both the 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.
