Yes,
you
read
that
right!
Silambarasan
has
replaced
Kamal
Haasan
to
host
Bigg
Boss
Ultimate.
Confirming
the
news,
the
makers
on
Thursday
launched
a
new
promo
featuring
the
handsome
actor
and
it
indeed
looks
amazing.
The
star
can
be
seen
getting
ready
for
the
promo
and
later
making
our
hearts
flutter
with
his
appearance,
style,
endearing
smile
and
wink.
Towards
the
end
of
the
40-second
video,
the
actor
walks
in
and
says,
"Ethir
Pakkala
Ile?
Naane
Ethir
Pakkala.
Pakkalama?"
(Didn't
expect
me
right?
Even
I
didn't.
Shall
we
see?"
Well,
the
footage
has
garnered
hearts
on
the
internet,
and
the
audiences
are
now
eagerly
waiting
to
see
what's
in
store
for
them.
Let
us
tell
you
that
earlier
there
were
reports
that
Simbu
would
host
the
fifth
season
of
Bigg
Boss
Tamil,
however,
it
turned
out
to
be
a
mere
rumour.
Notably,
his
inclusion
was
also
expected
when
Kamal
Haasan
tested
positive
for
COVID-19,
however,
actress
Ramya
Krishnan
was
seen
taking
up
the
duties
of
the
host.
Last
Sunday,
Kamal
Haasan
announced
that
he
was
quitting
the
show
to
resume
the
shooting
of
his
upcoming
film
Vikram.
Citing
date
clash
as
the
reason
for
his
exit,
the
star
stressed
that
he
is
opting
out
only
for
the
current
season.
His
statement
on
Twitter
read,
"The
rescheduling
of
the
production
activities
for
Vikram
that
we
are
forced
to
do
on
account
the
lockdown
and
restrictions
imposed,
has
unavoidably
resulted
in
an
overlap
of
dates
required
to
be
allotted
for
Bigg
Boss
Ultimate.
Considering
the
fact
that
some
more
days
of
shoot
are
left
to
complete
the
scenes
which
have
the
combination
of
some
of
the
most
prominent
stars
and
technicians
of
the
Film
Industry,
it
has
become
practically
impossible
to
manage
both
Vikram
and
Bigg
Boss
together.
It
would
be
unfair
to
make
such
eminent
stars
and
technicians
wait
for
me,
considering
their
schedule
and
other
commitments
that
they
might
already
have.
Consequently,
I
am
now
constrained
to
opt-out
of
this
season
of
Bigg
Boss."
