To the shock and disappointment of Kamal Haasan's fans, the actor will not be returning as the host of Bigg Boss Tamil due to his previous film commitments. He made a statement on Tuesday, August 6th about the same. The actor has been hosting the show since its start and with season eight likely still months away, the announcement caused quite a stir on social media. Kamal's upcoming films include Indian 3 and Thug Life. The recently released Indian 2 was a disaster among critics and audiences alike. It is currently clear that the actor wants to stay away from Bigg Boss Tamil for now. The release date of Bigg Boss season 8 has not been officially announced but reports suggest that the first episode is expected to release in October. Earlier this year, Archana Ravichandran won Bigg Boss Tamil season 7, apparently becoming the only wildcard contestant to win in multiple languages across the entire Bigg Boss series.
