Extramarital affair inside BB Tamil house - low TRP - court case - Host under threat

 

Trouble in BiggBoss House in Chennai- Bengaluru and Mumbai. In Chennai, the TRP is just 6 points and that is too lower than that of a weak daily soap in Star Vijay.  Outside a contestant’s wife is spitting venom on BB for encouraging extra martial affair. In Mumbai, Host Salman Khan is under threat from Bishnoi gang and so will he make it for the shoot ? In Bengaluru, a legal notice demands stopping of show as it compromises privacy of women contestants. Host Sudeep has announced his quitting the show after the current one.

Outside BiggBoss Tamil 8 house, there is wife of Arnav a contestant saying that her hubby is with Anishitha another TV actress in the house to strengthen their illicit relationship that happened outside the house. Both the actors acted together in a serial ( Chellamma) and wife has put out voice call tapes that show the actors were in a relationship. Inside the House they are avoiding each other and more so by Arnav. In BB awards task, Arnav nominated Anishitha for being a Yes person in the house and this led to a big face off. Is it Real ?. Anshitha has acted in Malayalam serials like Koodevide in Asianet. Arnav wife Divya also acted in serial Chellamma and she claims that her pregnancy was aborted by her hubby.

Meanwhile Arun Prasad another contestant is said to be in love with last year BB winner Archana. The winner is said to have kept the affair a secret but housemates seem to be aware of it. As per voting figures, Arnav and Darsha are at last places. The fights are not picking up like last year. Last year it started gaining momentum from Day one.

In Kannada the comments say that BB is boiled down to fights and it is not what they want. As we are not  Kannada BB watchers, we cannot understand what the BB shows were like in previous years and were they full of message giving speeches and goody goody babes and guys in it ? Now the lawyer in his notice to BB Kannada says  that women contestants kept in a prison like set as part of a task Heaven and Hell suffered privacy violation and human rights violation. Based on the case, police has asked for unedited footage. Lawyer wants total stoppage. The application was filed under the Code of Business Procedure Order 39 rules 1 and 2 with section 151. ..

 

 

Nayanthara for BIggBoss Tamil and Rs 400 crore needed to make Indian 3 a hit

Big Boss a Lady Superstar Nayanthara’s office and Banijay are in talks for hosting Big Boss Tamil next season, is what we heard just now. We were told that Vignesh Shivan , hubby , was in talks with the production company. In another related development, it is said that the team that was said to prepare a storyboard for Vijay Sethupathi as host for a promo has been told to put it on hold. Two things that could possibly happened is that VSP team might have asked for the same amount of Rs 150 crores that Kamal was getting or anuthing more than Rs 100 crore plus. Banijay has to convince the sponsors and they are those looking for targeting urban class and Tier 2 cities. Apart from this the audience of BB Tamil is spread across many countries and they are those that view them on HotStar app. This audience would be nil for VSP. Though Maharaja got a good run in OTT and theatre, his previous films were duds. On Netflix, Maharaja termed a hit was no 5 among non English films but Indian 2 which is termed a flop was on 7th spot globally.

At the same time, Nayanthara is an option that loomed big . For one the fact that for first time a full time Lady Host for BB is new concept and no language has tried it and secondly that she is a known face across all regions. Added to this, Nayanthara exposure to advertising and her dress sense could be an added advantage. It was Kushboo who turned host for a Jaya TV show and created a big buzz. Women audience waited to see what Kushboo wore for the show and soon they were copied put out on the market. Ramyakrishnan was also a popular host of TV show. She did step in a for a while in BB as Kamal had taken a break. This season to make it interesting, many film celebrities are to appear every week as guests. They will be mostly those working in films that Disney Hotstar has bought for OTT streaming. Let’s wait to see if Lady Superstar says yes to Banijay. Rs 400 crores Plus to cover Indian 2 losses

Lyca and Red Giant has sat across the table and counted the figures and have come to a conclusion that if Indian 3 has to succeed and it means only covering up the losses for both companies, nothing short of Rs 425 crores Gross has to be collected. Lyca started with a Rs 250 crore budget and after accident. Legal disputes with Shankar over budgets and Covid , it resumed shooting after Red Giant pumped in Rs 150 crores. In India, theatrical revenues for the film was only Rs 83 crores and rest was in overseas. Taking the total amount invested in both parts and it reaches a staggering Rs 500 crores, With revenues from Indian 2 pegged at Rs 53 crores overseas and Rs 81 crores in India and totally Rs 148 cr, both companies need a staggering amount to just cover the investment

Sivakarthikeyan or STR for BB Tamil - Vijay Sethupathi is OTT hot favourite

It’s not official but will be. Simbu aka Silambarasan STR #Atman or Sivakarthikeyan will be new Bigg Boss Tamil Season 8 host. Our BB trackers say that before Kamal Haasan issued the signed letter, he and Banijay, the Producers of BB show had a talk about the next replacement.. We all know that STR is signed for a film with Rajkamal banner. It will start sometime in March next year as STR is soon to sign a mega project. Details later. Sivakarthikeyan film Amaran with RajKamal is releasing next month. Kamal and Mahendran co- producer Turmeric Media had said that STR or Sivakarthikeyan are good choices. STR already hosted BB Ultimate and got good response. So Banijay is comfortable with STR.

However information that we got was that R Mahendran has asked Banijay to seriously consider Sivakarthikeyan for BB host. R Mahendran, ex VP Star Vijay and co – producer of Sivakarthikeyan film Amaran and Thug Life has put forth this idea. It seems that Mahendran and SK friendship dates back to the days when the latter was a participant in reality show Kalakaai Poovathu Yaar. Apart from this SK and Director Atlee are friends and former had worked in latter’s short films Mugaputhagam. Atlee and Mahendran are cousins. Turmeric Media of Mahendran is partner to RajKamal films ventures. For one day at BB sets for the 100 days of the show, Kamal was reportedly paid Rs 150 crores. So SK should get at least Rs 100 crores ? SK’s Amaran is releasing on September 27 and has Sai Pallavi in it. Also there is a report that Lokesh Kanagaraj will play a pivotal role in SK film with Sudha Kongara.

Viduthalai 2 is most expected film now. For one it is a Vetrimaaran directorial and secondly it has Vijay Sethupathi. Till the other day, it was because it has Soori whose Garudan is a hit. Now Maharaja has changed all this. Film is a Rs 100 crore film and for Sethupathy a first. After streaming on Netflix, for four weeks in a row, the film rated among the top ten non-English films globally. Maharaja movie has got 15.5 million views and 36.4 million watch hours to date. Our Kerala box office guy informs that Vaika has got Kerala theatrical rights. It has Manju Warrier in main role.
