Chennai: Kamal Haasan has decided to opt out midway through this season’s Bigg Boss Tamil Ultimate.
The reason?
Production and post-production work of his upcoming film Vikram was clashing with the schedule of Bigg Boss Tamil’s OTT version.
The veteran said in a statement on Sunday that Bigg Boss Ultimate and Vikram’s teams had thus far planned “meticulously” to ensure the production of the reality show and the film did not clash. “Now it has become practically impossible to manage both the projects simultaneously,” Haasan stated.
“The reschedule 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. It would be unfair to make such eminent stars and technicians wait for me, 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,” Haasan explained.
Honoured to have launched the digital avatar of Bigg Boss Tamil, Haasan said he had become “attached” to the reality show.
The much-awaited Vikram will see Haasan share screen space with Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi.
