Veteran actor Kamal Haasan, on Sunday, announced that he has been taking a break from hosting the ongoing season of Bigg Boss Tamil Ultimate, which is Bigg Boss Tamil's OTT version.

He issued a statement in which he stated that he has decided to opt out of the show due to the clash of production and post-production work of his film Vikram, directed by Lokesh Kanagraj. Kamal also mentioned that so far the teams of Bigg Boss Ultimate and Vikram had "meticulously planned to ensure the production" of the show and the film did not clash. However, it has become "practically impossible" for him to manage both the projects simultaneously.
