Kamal Haasan not to host eighth edition of Big Boss Tamil

After being the face of Big Boss Tamil for almost seven years, actor Kamal Haasan on Tuesday announced that he will be taking a small break from hosting the show.

Incidentally, there had been speculation in the media that Haasan intended to quit the show, right after its sixth edition.

As per various media reports then, Haasan was expected to announce his decision after he hosted the grand finale of the sixth edition, which was aired in January 2023.

Reports had stated that Haasan wanted to quit the show even in the face of a huge hike in his fees, as he allegedly wanted to break the monotony with film and other projects.

It was also speculated in a section of the media that the falling viewership for the programme had played a role in his decision.
