Post
several
speculations,
it
is
finally
confirmed
that
Kollywood's
Makkal
Selvan
Vijay
Sethupathi
will
be
hosting
the
popular
culinary
reality
show
MasterChef
Tamil.
Confirming
the
big
news,
the
telecasting
channel
of
the
show
Sun
TV
recently
released
a
promo
featuring
the
versatile
actor.
With
fans
and
well-wishers
of
Sethupathi
awaiting
to
see
him
in
a
refreshing
avatar
on
the
mini-screen,
what
has
also
attained
huge
attention
and
love
of
the
audience
and
netizens
is
his
latest
interview
about
taking
up
the
role
of
a
host
for
MasterChef.
Interestingly,
it
was
reported
that
the
actor
is
charging
a
humongous
remuneration
to
be
a
part
of
the
maiden
season
of
the
show's
Tamil
version.
However,
during
his
tete-e-tete
with
Spotboye,
Vijay
opened
up
about
the
same
stating
that
he
never
accepted
any
offer,
be
it
films
or
television
shows
for
money.
He
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
never
accept
any
offer
for
the
money.
It's
the
connect
with
the
people
that
pushes
me
to
be
a
part
of
any
film,
or
for
that
matter
any
show,
like
MasterChef.
In
fact,
I
have
been
hosting
another
television
show
Namma
Oru
Hero
for
two
years.
This
is
a
Tamil
weekly
show
where
I
bring
into
the
limelight
unsung
heroes,
the
working
class,
soldiers,
the
doctors,
nurses
and
school
teachers.
For
me
they
are
the
real
heroes."
When
asked
about
his
interest
in
food,
the
actor
amusingly
said
that
he
is
more
into
eating
than
cooking
adding
that
food
has
always
interested
him.
On
a
related
note,
the
new
season
of
MasterChef
Tamil
will
air
on
Sun
TV.
Notably,
the
timing
and
grand
premiere
date
are
yet
to
be
announced
by
the
makers.
For
the
uninitiated,
MasterChef
is
the
world's
popular
cooking
reality
show.
Reportedly,
the
show
produced
in
more
than
40
countries
airs
in
as
many
as
200
territories
with
versions
including
MasterChef
series,
MasterChef:
The
Professionals,
Celebrity
MasterChef,
Junior
MasterChef,
and
MasterChef
All-Stars
among
others.
Talking
about
the
Indian
version,
MasterChef
India
has
had
6
seasons
(last
season
aired
on
March
2020)
and
a
single
season
of
MasterChef
India
Junior
(2013).
Interestingly,
if
reports
are
to
be
believed,
along
with
Tamil,
the
culinary
show's
Telugu,
Malayalam
and
Kannada
versions
will
also
be
announced,
reportedly
hosted
by
Venkatesh
Daggubati,
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
and
Kichcha
Sudeep.
