However, reports suggested a delay due to various factors, including selection of contestants,the host Mohanlal's commitments to his film Empuraan, Thudarum .[3] Earlier reports indicated a potential premiere in June 2025.[4] As per latest reports, premiere is scheduled to August 2025.[5]
Eye Logo
The official logo of the seventh edition was unveiled on 21 May 2025 coinciding with host Mohanlal's birthday.[6][7]
The logo features a vibrant blend of pink magenta, purple, and dark blue hues. At its center is the franchise's iconic 'eye' symbol, surrounded by seven jewel-like elements that represent the season number. A stylized number '7' (or "L" as in Lalettan) is also prominently incorporated within the design, indicating the edition of the show.[8] [9]
