Kamal Haasan Bids Goodbye To The Tamil Bigg Boss

Kamal Haasan on Sunday shared an announcement that he is opting out of the ongoing season of Bigg Boss Tamil Ultimate, which is Bigg Boss Tamil’s OTT version. The actor explained why he is quitting the show mid-way. Kamal Haasan said that the “production and post-production” of his film Vikram, directed by Lokesh Kanagraj, was clashing with the schedule of Bigg Boss Ultimate’s shoot.

Kamal further added that until today, the team of Bigg Boss Ultimate and the makers of Vikram had “meticulously planned to ensure the production” in order to avoid clashes. However, he said now it has become “practically impossible” for him to manage both the projects simultaneously. “The rescheduling of the production activities for Vikram that we are forced to do on account the lockdown and restrictions imposed, have unavoidably resulted in overlap of dates required to be allotted for Bigg Boss Ultimate.

Considering the fact that some more days of shoot are left to complete the scenes which has the combination of some of the most prominent stars and technicians of the Film Industry, it has become practically impossible to manage both Vikram and Bigg Boss together,” he wrote.

The actor added that it would be unfair to make such eminent stars and technicians wait for him, especially considering their schedule and other commitments that they might already have. “Consequently, I am now constrained to opt out of this season of Bigg Boss,” he shared in a statement. He concluded by saying that it was an “honour” for him to launch the digital avatar of Bigg Boss Tamil. The actor said he became “attached” to the reality show. This leaves fans in great disappointment. On the work front, Kamal will next be seen sharing screen space with Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi in the much-awaited Vikram.
