Bigg Boss (Tamil version). "
Kamal sir is busy with Bigg Boss show. Contrary to some reports,
Sabash Naidu has not been shelved and will be revived very soon. It had to be stalled when he had a leg injury followed by some unfortunate events," the source told IANS. Team
Sabash Naidu now plans to resume shoot from December this year.
