this
time
with
speculations
about
the

right!
Though
host
Mohanlal
during
one
of
the
weekend
episodes
confirmed
that
the
show
will
not
be
disrupted
unlike
the
second
season,
considering
the
safety
measures
being
taken
by
the
contestants
and
the
team
amid
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19,
the
latest
development
has
the
rumour
mill
churning
once
again.
Reportedly,
6
technicians
of
the
show
have
now
tested
positive
for
COVID-19.
According
to
the
Times
of
India
report,
contestants
and
technicians
of
the
show
are
subjected
to
a
mandatory
COVID

every

as
a
protocol,
and
during
the
recent
test,
6
members
were
found
positive.
For
the
unversed,
Bigg
Boss
Malayalam
3
is
being
shot
in
Chennai's
EVP
Film
City.
Let
us
tell
you
that
the
show
was
recently
extended
owing
to
the
current
lockdown
in
the
state.
As
per
reports,
eight
contestants
currently
residing
in
the
house
are
safe
and
have
tested
negative
for
COVID-19.
It
is
said
that
the
infected
team
members
didn't
come
in
contact
with
the
contestants
as
they
were
working
outside
the
set.
Reportedly,
the
6
members
have
gone
into
isolation
and
their
condition
is
being
monitored
by
doctors.
On
the
other
hand,
it
is
said
that
a
separate
test
of
all
members
and
contestants
was
also
done
owing
to
the
latest
development.
Though
buzz
about
the
show
going
off-air
is
doing
the
rounds
on
social
media,
only
an
official
announcement
or
upcoming
episodes
will
unveil
the
truth
about
the
same.
Currently,
the
house

8
contestants
including

Sai
Vishnu,
Dimpal
Bhal,
Anoop
Krishnan,
Rithu
Manthra,

Muhammed,

Firoz
and

On
a
related
note,

The
show
which
was
going
through
its
74th
