The Tamil Cinema fans were in for a sweet shock when they learned that their most loved actor, Vijay Sethupathi, was selected as the host for the eighth season of Bigg Boss Tamil. The Tamil reality game show is all set to have a grand launch program soon, and it will be available for streaming on Disney+Hotstar. Recently, the makers of the show announced the launch date of Bigg Boss Tamil 8.
Bigg Boss Tamil is a reality show that is the Indian version of the international show Big Brother. The eight seasons of Bigg Boss Tamil will be launched on October 6, 2024, starting at 6 PM. As said above, the news of Vijay Sethupathi being the host of this show was not expected by anyone. The actor is often regarded as a calm person, and he speaks less in the movie promotional interviews as well. So it was a bit surprising for the viewers who were habituated to watch Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan as the host. The first seven seasons of Tamil Bigg Boss were hosted by none other than Kamal Haasan. However, a few months ago, Kamal Haasan released a statement that he would not be able to anchor the show, and he cited some prior cinematic commitments as the reason for walking off the show.
Now it will be interesting to see how Vijay Sethupathi will manage the host of Bigg Boss Tamil 8. The details about the contestants participating in this season are not out yet, and according to the format of the show, there will be several known faces from the media, entertainment, and other industries who will participate in the show.
