After a successful fourth season of Bigg Boss Tamil, the fifth edition is all set to premiere on Vijay television from the second week of October. The launch was delayed due to the ongoing Corona Virus scare.

While the organisers are now working on the construction of the Bigg Boss house at the EVP Film City in the outskirts of Chennai, Kamal Haasan recently shot for the promo and BTS pictures surfaced on the internet and went viral instantly.

The contestants are being shortlisted currently and the latest buzz states that there will be two transgender contestants, Shakila's daughter Nila and model Namitha on board for the upcoming season. Kani Thiru, Sunita Gogoi and GP Muthu are some of the names who are rumoured to be part of the fifth season, which will be aired on Vijay Television.

Vijay televisions in talks with almost 30 participants from various fields and the final list is yet to arrive. There are also rumours that the new season will come with a new set of rules for the participants to follow. On the other hand, the reality show Survivor hosted by Arjun is also ready to be aired on Zee television. Both the shows are expected to clash from October and the audiences are getting ready to witness some drama and adventure at the same time.
