After entertaining the people of Tamil Nadu as an actor, producer and director, actor Kamal Haasan will be foraying into Tamil television as an anchor through Tamil version of Big Boss .

In an interview to the website Quint.com, actor Kamal Haasan reportedly said, “Yes, I am doing Bigg Boss in Tamil. I’ve tried many different roles in various capacities as an entertainer but never as a host on a television show. Reality television is so far not a reality in my career. I want to see what it feels like.”

Sources said that the programme would more or less follow the same template as the original but would suited to the Tamil audience. “We are still working on the specifics. Once we sign on the dotted line, we will have more clarity,” confirmed a source close to the actor. The show will be aired on Star Vijay.

The popular reality show is a spin-off of Big Brother , in which participants live in a specially constructed house without television or phones and are constantly monitored thorough cameras and audio phones.
