Kamal Haasan calls Salman Khan an inspiration; confirms hosting 'Bigg Boss'

According to reports, southern superstar, Kamal Haasan is all set to make his television debut with the Tamil version of 'Bigg Boss'. While there was no confirmation from the actor's end, recently in an interview Kamal Haasan broke his silence over the issue.

When asked about his television debut with 'Bigg Boss', Kamaal said, "Yes, I am doing Bigg Boss in Tamil. I’ve tried many different roles in various capacities as an entertainer but never as a host on a television show. Reality television is so far not a reality in my career. I want to see what it feels like."

Kamal was also all praises for Salman Khan, who has made the show a household name all across the country. Praising Salman's hosting style, Haasan said, "Salman genuinely bonds with the contestants on Bigg Boss. There is no pretension or patronising in his attitude. Being friendly comes naturally to him. And he gives advice as a friend, not as a mentor."

Talking about how he plans to imbibe from Salman's hosting style, the 'Vishwaroop' star further added, "There is none of the I-know-better superiority in his attitude. I’d also like to bond genuinely with the contestants, though how it goes will depend entirely on how they perceive me, as a friend or as a mentor."

"I am running behind schedule because for eight months I wasn’t running at all, thanks to my fractured foot. I am now working simultaneously on completing the comedy Shabash Naidu and the post-production of Vishwaroop 2. The Bigg Boss schedules have been worked into my other commitments. Let’s see how it goes," concluded the actor.
