Bigg Boss Ultimate host Kamal Haasan has announced his exit from the show
Actor-politician Kamal Haasan has issued a statement stating that he will not be hosting the new season of Bigg Boss Tamil Ultimate, the OTT version of Bigg Boss Tamil on Disney Plus Hotstar. The actor has decided to leave the show.
Kamal Haasan has explained the reason behind his Bigg Boss exit. The actor is now working on Vikram, a high-profile film directed by Lokesh Kanakaraj and starring Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil. In a letter, Kamal Haasan wrote that despite painstaking planning to balance his movie Vikram and Bigg Boss Ultimate, the pandemic played spoilsport.
Dasavatharam (2008) star said it is almost impossible to fulfill both commitments. "We had so far meticulously planned to ensure that the production schedule of Vikram does not affect my commitments to Bigg Boss, a show that is very close to my heart. So much so, I did not let any personal discomfort I might have had after I was personally down with Covid. The rescheduling of the production activities for Vikram that were forced on account of lockdowns and restrictions imposed have unavoidably resulted in an overlap of dates required to be allotted for Bigg Boss Ultimate," the talented actor wrote.
Kamal had an open and honest talk with Vijay TV's management before making his decision, which he described as supportive and cooperative. "I am overwhelmed and touched by their understanding of the constraints resulting from this pandemic and consequent restrictions forcing me to exit from the remaining episodes of Bigg Boss Ultimate," he wrote.
