After hosting the show for the last season, the actor has signed up to host it for the third season too. The actor has denied that he chooses any of the contestants for the show, and does not interfere with the show other than hosting it. He further added, that he did not want to host another season, after the first one, but he could not refuse when the producers were very keen to work with him.

After the success of his recent release Maanikya, the actor is all set to start shooting for his next film, after completing the shooting for the current season of Bigg Boss.
