Kamal Haasan takes a break from Bigg Boss duties

Kamal Haasan to not return for Bigg Boss Season 8

Kamal Haasan, the legendary actor of Indian Cinema, started hosting Bigg Boss Tamil, way back in 2017. The show kept him close to audiences despite his films failing at the box office. As a host, he has been able to steer through many controversies and controversial contestants in Bigg Boss for past seven seasons.

Now, he accepted many films post tremendous success of Vikram as an actor and producer. Kamal Haasan is currently busy shooting for Mani Rathnam’s Thug Life and he might even shoot for Kalki 2898 AD second part. He has another film in the direction of action directors Anbarivu.

With so many projects on plate, he could not find time to allocate dates for Bigg Boss new season, Bigg Boss 8. While Akkineni Nagarjuna confirmed to return as host for Telugu Bigg Boss Season 8, Kamal Haasan declined the offer. He wrote a long letter announcing his decision.
