With legendary actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan announcing his retirement from the popular Tamil reality show, Bigg Boss, all eyes are on the celebrity who will be stepping into Kamal’s shoes as the host. Until now, popular Kollywood stars like Nayanthara and Simbu were rumored to be under consideration to don the host’s avatar.
But if the ongoing buzz in Kollywood circles is anything to go by, acclaimed Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi is said to be the front-runner to host Bigg Boss Tamil Season 8. Apparently, the discussions between Bigg Boss Tamil organizers and Vijay Sethupathi are in an advanced stage. However, we will have to wait until an official announcement regarding the host is made.
