Actor Kamal Haasan on Friday held a press meet in Chennai to unveil the trailer of his upcoming debut television show, Bigg Boss Tamil. The actor looked quite ready to take on the new challenge in his decorated career that spans over 50 years. He has promised the viewers to tear off the masks of the contestants in the upcoming reality show.
The trailer is a take on every individual, who wears many different types of masks for various reasons. “I have played many characters in films. If I ask you who wears more masks than me, you may say politicians. No. You guys wear more masks in real life than me in films,” Kamal says in the new trailer of the reality show, that is aimed at bringing out the unseen side of the participants. The trailer comes to an end with a warning, where the actor says, participants, “cannot either run or hide” in the Bigg Boss house as he will be watching.
Kamal said he will keep tabs on all the contestants throughout the week and every Saturday, he will come on the show to share his thoughts about the activities of the housemates. About 14 celebrity contestants will live under the same roof, cut off from the world, for about 100 days. The last person remaining in the Bigg Boss house will be crowned as the winner. The showrunners said that they will be announcing the prize for the winner soon.
Kamal said that about 30 cameras will be monitoring all the contestants in the house and the show will really get interesting when they forget that they are being watched. “Our actual self comes out when we know we are not being watched. I have caused enough trouble for myself in the past by saying a few things unmindful of the camera,” he said.

He also gave a glimpse of what the viewers can expect from him when he did not hesitate to take a potshot at Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. When he was asked as to why he didn’t choose to host a show that is socially more responsible like Satyamev Jayate, Kamal surprised everyone with his response. The actor said he did not need a TV show to demonstrate his social responsibility. “In my individual capicty, I have been performing more social responsibilities than the Satyamev Jayate’s host,” Kamal said taking a dig at Aamir. “I take pride in saying that I’ve been doing so for many years now. I’ve been doing my civic responsibilities without any advertisement but because of the social media like Twitter, they get publicised of late,” he added.
Kamal added that he has seen shows hosted by various people and he will try to make it as differently as possible. The first season of the show will go live on June 25 on Vijay TV. At 62, Kamal will be making his small screen debut. Talking about it,”Recently, I was going to a recording and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. It is same when I think about this show. The day I don’t feel butterflies in my stomach, I will quit my job,” he added.
