Bigg Boss Tamil is back! Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the schedule of the reality show has gotten a bit skewed. The reality show which usually airs in June every year got pushed to October in 2020, and since then October has become the month of the new Bigg Boss. Bigg Boss also means another happy news: For the next 14 weeks, actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan would appear on screen with his usual wit, book suggestions, and anecdotes. As the actor is currently basking in the success of Vikram, it is going to be all the more fun. Let’s hope he drops some news on his upcoming film Indian 2.
We earlier gave you a glimpse of the new house, which has become more lavish and glossier. On top of that, two significant changes in the house would spice up things more. One is the return of the swimming pool, which has been non-functional as the showrunners wanted to show solidarity with the water scarcity issue. However, it is back this season along with a ramp. The second significant change in the house is the common sleeping area for both men and women. Even before the start of Day 1, one can be sure that this is a fertile scenario for more drama. Also, like every season, the jail has undergone a makeover. Instead of the underground jail like last season, we now have a gigantic parrot cage for the inmates who need punishment.
Okay, the drama begins right away! Bigg Boss right away starts with a rather hard task. Contestants are asked to choose four uninteresting contestants so far. The unlucky lot will have to sleep outside the house and shouldn't sit or sleep anywhere other than the allotted space. The four housemates will also be directly nominated for elimination. That's an unexpected beginning. Bigg Boss is indeed up to something. Let's wait and watch. With that, we bid adieu!
He later calls Janany to the confession room making her the first contestant to enter the most happening room of the house. Bigg Boss hands over the first task to her.
We move on to the contestants, who are worried about just two restrooms for twenty contestants. Even as they are discussing it, Bigg Boss calls them to the living room and gets all bossy. He warns this season is going to be different and asks the players to expect the unexpected at unexpected time.
Kamal Haasan will start making book recommendations from next week due to time constraints. However, Kamal leaves us with a statement about history getting mixed with mythology. "I don't know how useful it will be to study at WhatsApp university. To know about our history, we should read books by good historians. We should also make sure mythology doesn't mix with our history like other countries," he says. The host has made the statement in the wake of the ongoing issue about Cholas and their religious identity. Kamal's statement that the term Hindu didn't exist before British rule created a huge furore. With that Kamal Haasan bids goodbye!
The next contestant is Dhanalakshmi, an Instagrammer from Erode. Coming from a broken family, Dhanalakshmi says this is the only opportunity that has come her way without a lot of struggle.
Kamal Haasan goes on to introduce Nivaa from Singapore. Nivaa was in the fashion business for a while, and now, she wants to make it big in showbiz.
Kamal Haasan says, "We at Bigg Boss Tamil take it up on ourselves to find Tamil talent irrespective of the place they are in."
The mystery continues. Another new face, Queency Stanley, enters the Bigg Boss Tamil Season 6 house. She is an upcoming actor.
Another fairly unknown face: VJ Kathirravan. Okay, this is getting a bit meh, to be honest. There seems to be no ace in the hole yet.
Maheswari Chanakyan is in the house! She was last seen in Kamal Haasan's Vikram as one of the wives of Vijay Sethupathi's Sandhanam.
Kamal Haasan takes a lot of time in introducing Amudhavanan, who feels that his talent has not been recognised by the audience yet. Amudhavanan adds, "My mom said Kamal pronouncing your name and talking to you is itself a victory."
The next contestant is Amudhavanan, a popular TV comedy artiste.
The contestant reel reveals that Vikraman is a journalist and an activist driven by ideologies. He is surrounded by books, statues of Periyar and Ambedkar.
Kamal Haasan gives a brief but strong intro to the next contestant, Vikraman.

We have to wait till 2023 to know if Arulmozhi Varman makes it to Chola Nadu from Lanka, but many others seem to have come to Bigg Boss from the island country. Another contestant from Sri Lanka: Janany. She is an anchor and newsreader. Remember Losaliya? Janany seems to have a similar profile.

Based on the contestants that have entered the Bigg Boss Tamil Season 6 house so far, it looks like the showrunners have opted for only a few popular faces. It is good in a sense as we don't have a lot of preconceived notions about the contestants.
