Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan has hosted the Tamil version of Bigg Boss for the last seven seasons and very much connected to the audience.
However he is not returning for the eighth season of the show. He said he is taking a short break from Bigg Boss because of other commitments.
He is currently working on Mani Ratnam’s film “Thug Life” and has signed on for two more movies. He is stepping away from the reality show to focus on his acting career.
He made a tweet With a heavy heart, I wish to inform you that I will be taking a small break from our journey that began 7 years ago. Due to prior cinematic commitments, I’m unable to host the upcoming season of Bigg Boss Tamil.
I have been privileged to reach you in your homes.
You have showered me with your love for which you have my everlasting gratitude. Your spirited and passionate support of the contestants is at the core of what makes BB Tamil one of the best television reality shows in India.
Personally being your host has been an enriching association, where I have honestly shared my learnings. I will always be grateful for this learning experience. I sincerely thank each one of you and the contestants in the show for our time together.
Lastly, I would like to thank the wonderful team at Vijay TV, as well as every crew member who has been involved in making this enterprise a grand success. I am sure this season will be yet another success.
