Did you know Santhosh Varma is the lyricist behind the iconic Bigg Boss Malayalam theme song?
The Bigg Boss Malayalam theme song has become an integral part of the show’s identity since its very first season. With its hauntingly catchy lines "Lokathin Kadhayariyathe, Nerathin Gathiyariyathe...", the song perfectly captures the essence of the show, a 100-day battle where contestants live cut off from the outside world, navigating mental, emotional, and strategic challenges.
While viewers have always known that the song is sung by popular playback singer Vijay Yesudas and composed by Stephen Devassy , very few are aware of the man behind the powerful lyrics. In a recent episode of Bigg Boss Malayalam Season 7, host Mohanlal revealed a little-known fact that caught both contestants and viewers by surprise: the lyricist behind the iconic theme song is none other than Santhosh Varma .
During a fun and engaging General Knowledge quiz segment with the housemates, Mohanlal asked a variety of questions related to Kerala, its culture, cinema, and arts. One of the questions challenged the contestants to name the singer, composer, and lyricist of the Bigg Boss Malayalam theme song.
While Akbar correctly identified Vijay Yesudas as the singer and Stephen Devassy as the composer, he stumbled when asked about the lyricist. Surprisingly, none of the housemates could name the person behind the words they hear every single day in the house. Mohanlal humorously mocked the contestants for being unaware of such a significant detail, given their close association with the show.
The host then proudly revealed that the lyrics were penned by Santhosh Varma, one of Malayalam cinema’s most respected lyricists. Known for his evocative writing style, Varma has contributed to several memorable songs in films like Drishyam , Malikappuram, and Ramante Eden Thottam.
