The wait for Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 appears to be getting shorter. According to the latest updates, the much-anticipated Bigg Boss Agnipareeksha phase is expected to begin in the middle of July 2026, giving aspiring contestants an opportunity to showcase their talent and earn a place in the main competition.
๐ What Is Bigg Boss Agnipareeksha?
Agnipareeksha is expected to function as a special selection process for commoner contestants. Participants shortlisted through the registration and audition stages will get an opportunity to compete before entering the Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 8 house.
The exact format is yet to be officially announced. However, if the Malayalam edition follows a format similar to the one used in Bigg Boss Telugu, viewers can expect hosts, judges, audience interaction, and performance-based eliminations during the selection process.
There are also expectations that audience voting through JioHotstar could play a role in the contestant selection process. However, viewers should wait for an official confirmation from Asianet and JioHotstar regarding the final format, duration, and voting rules.
