He then delivers a powerful line about a king and his virtues. However, the teaser reaches its biggest moment when the actor declares that he is not the king, but the king maker.

Soon after the teaser was released, fans expressed their excitement about welcoming the new season. Earlier, the makers had unveiled another teaser featuring the host announcing Agnipariksha , a pre-show introducing commoner contestants to the season.
According to the buzz, Bigg Boss Malayalam 8 is expected to premiere in the first week of September. Agnipariksha, the pre-show, is expected to go on air in the second week of August.
