Kamal Haasan's 'Bigg Boss' house will cost over 1 CRORE!

A lavish house set worth over Rs 1 crore will be constructed for the Tamil version of the popular reality TV show, Bigg Boss. This version will be hosted by actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan in his television debut. 

A member of the production unit spoke to IANS. According to the source, "A lavish house set on a budget of over Rs. 1 crore is being constructed at EVP theme park. The team is busy preparing the participants’ list of 15 members, including two cricketers. The first season of the show will be aired from June 18 on Vijay TV.” 

While speaking about being selected to host the show, Haasan said in a statement, "When ‘Bigg Boss’ approached me to play the host, I funnily quipped, who better than me, right? All my life, I have been under a constant watch and have been judged on whatever I have done, public or private. But now, the roles are reversed, as I would stand with the audiences and watch these celebrities in the house survive this ordeal.”

The source continued by saying that Haasan will shoot for a few episodes of the show, before re-commencing work on his multi-lingual upcoming comedy film Sabaash Naidu. The film will also star his daughter Shruti Haasan and Ramya Krishnan, and is slated for a November 2017 release.
