The highly anticipated grand finale of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 is set to take place tonight, bringing an end to a season filled with high-voltage drama, entertainment, and unexpected game-changing twists. The coveted trophy will be lifted by one of the five remaining finalists, marking the climax of this popular reality show hosted by the superstar Mohanlal.
Meet the Final Five Contestants
After a long and arduous journey inside the Bigg Boss house, only five participants managed to secure their place in the top finale round. The finalists of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 are Anumol, Aneesh, Akbar, Nevin, and Shanavas.
Anumol, an actor and anchor, was the second participant to enter the house at the start of the season. Akbar Khan, a singer, made his entry as the fifth contestant. A significant highlight of this season is Aneesh TA, a government employee who has created history by becoming the first commoner (male) to ever reach the grand finale of Bigg Boss Malayalam.
Completing the list of finalists are choreographer Nevin and actor Shanavas, who is widely recognized for his role as Rudran in 'Kumkumapoovu'. Just ahead of the grand finale, contestant Noora was eliminated from the game.
The Ultimate Winner and Prize Money
The million-dollar question on every fan's mind is: who will be the winner of Bigg Boss Malayalam 7? While the official announcement will be made around midnight, various reports and online trends suggest that Aneesh has emerged as the leading contender to win the title.
Following him closely in the race is reportedly Anumol. The other three finalists—Akbar, Nevin, and Shanavas—are also strong contenders, but trends place them next in line. The winner of this season will be rewarded handsomely, taking home a prize money of ₹50 lakh.
This cash prize is consistent with the rewards of the past three seasons. Last year, fitness trainer Jinto Bodycraft won Season 6 and received the same amount. It is worth noting that the winners of the first two seasons were also awarded apartments along with the cash prize.
Behind the Scenes: Host Mohanlal's Role
Adding to the show's grandeur is its host, the legendary Mohanlal. A report by Filmibeat claims that the superstar earned a staggering ₹24 crore for hosting Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, which spans approximately 100 days.
Mohanlal has been the face of the show since its inception, appearing in the weekend episodes. His duties include conducting eliminations, engaging in interactions and special appearances, and mediating issues among the housemates. Despite the show's long duration, his total shoot schedule for the season is estimated to be only about 15-20 days. However, these figures have not been officially confirmed by the show's makers.
Where to Watch: The Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7 grand finale is currently being streamed live on Asianet. For online viewers, it is available on Disney+ Hotstar and OTTplay Premium.
