Kamal Haasan drops out of Bigg Boss Tamil Ultimate owing to clash with Vikram

Tollywood star Kamal Haasan on Sunday announced that he is opting out of the enduring season of Bigg Boss Tamil Ultimate, which is Bigg Boss Tamil’s OTT version. Clarifying why the actor is quitting the show mid-way, Kamal Haasan said that “production and post-production” of his film Vikram, directed by Lokesh Kanagraj, was clashing with the schedule of Bigg Boss Ultimate’s shoot.

Kamal acknowledged that so far the teams of Bigg Boss Ultimate and Vikram had meticulously planned to ensure the production of the show and the film does not clash. However, he explained how it has become practically impossible for the star to manage both the projects simultaneously.

“The rescheduling of the production activities for Vikram that we are forced to do on account the lock down and restrictions imposed, have unavoidably resulted in 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 has 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,” he shared in a statement.
