Director Cheran has been known for his acclaimed, award winning movies like Porkalam, Bharathi Kannamma, Vetri Kodi Kattu etc and has also succeeded as an actor as well with movies like Autograph, Thavamaai Thavamirundhu and few more movies.

He has now entered the Bigg Boss house as a contestant, and has been going through different challenges. Last week, the director was blamed by Meera Mitun of manhandling, and though it was revealed that the director had not did any mistake, it lead to people wondering why an award winning maker of his stature must go face such troubles in Bigg Boss house.

In the latest task in Bigg Boss 3, Saravanan had questioned Cheran the same, asking what was the necessity to enter Bigg Boss despite so much fame and where is this journey towards. Cheran responded that he had worked hard and has won national awards, but after Autograph he has been facing troubles with everything. He went on to reveal that it was Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi who had sent him to the Bigg Boss house, as the actor had said Cheran to remind him to this generation as well. It must be noted that after Thirumanam, Cheran might soon direct a movie starring Vijay Sethupathi.
