Production
[edit]Development
[edit]While the show had previously been produced by Media Masons, production on the fifth season was taken over by Box Office Studio. The format largely went unchanged, though there were changes in the judging panel; Chef Damu returned, but Venkatesh Bhat left and was succeeded by Madhampatty Rangaraj.[21][22][23][24][25]
Casting
[edit]The previous year's contestans Pugazh, Sunitha Gogoi, Mohamed Kuraishi, Kpy Sarath returned to compete in the show; they were joined by newcomers Ramar, Shabishabnam, Nanjil Vijayan, Anshita Akbarsha and Vyishali Kemkar.
Contestant and comedian Nanjil Vijayan quit the show after the first week, later announcing on his social media that he had " problem with the channel, and after this, [he] will not appear in any show produced by the box office company."[26] On 15 June 2024, actress Aranthangi Nisha joined the show.[27]
Release
