Kamal Haasan has been hosting the show for the past four seasons. Recently, a buzz emerged saying that Simbu is going to replace him due to the “Virumaandi” actor’s hectic schedule in political and cinematic career in the coming days. However, in a recent political event of his party, Kamal hinted that he will continue doing what he was doing in order to earn money to spend it for his political purpose.

Bigg Boss season four became a huge hit with Aari Arjunan winning the title trophy by defeating his co-contestant Balaji Murugadoss in a large margin of votes. Due to COVID 19 pandemic, the fourth season which would usually take place between June and September, got inaugurated on 4th of October and ended on 17th January. Similary, the fifth season is expected to take place during mid October, after the reduction in the positive cases that are surging due to the second wave of COVID 19 virus.
