Khushbu Sundar

Claim to fame: This yesteryear Tamil actress is famous for various controversies. Not only did she attract the wrath of Hindu groups by wearing a saree which had images of Hindu Gods, she was also severely criticised for views on pre marital sex.

Why Bigg Boss: First and foremost, Khushbu is a very popular actress of the 90′s. Not just that, Khushbu is a very outspoken woman, who calls spade a spade, never afraid in voicing her opinion. With her inside the Bigg Boss, one can expect a lot of heated arguments between her and other contestants, and that will lead to high voltage drama.

Ram Gopal Varma

Claim to fame: Once a famous director, RGV is now known for his notorious tweets and crappy films which he dishes out in every few months. Be it Amitabh or Rajinikanth or Sridevi, Ramu has never failed to take a dig at any famous celebrity.

Why Bigg Boss: Those who follow RGV on Twitter will agree that he invites trouble for himself thanks to his loud mouth. Touted to be the KRK of South, Ram Gopal Varma is also labeled as attention seeking celeb, who tries to stay in limelight with petty controversies. A motor mouth like RGV can only add fuel to the proceedings of a controversial show like Bigg Boss.

Shakeela

Claim to fame: She is the most popular B grade actress of all times. Considered to be the queen of soft porn, Shakeela is extremely popular for titilating films

Why Bigg Boss:

No one will ever agree in public, but 8 out of 10 men are big fans of B grade queen Shakeela. Due to her massive fan following, Shakeela will not only attract eyeballs to the show but can also generate hot controversies with contestants trying to hit on her.

Sampoornesh Babu

Claim to  fame: Popular for his film hilarious film Hrudaya Kaleyam,  Sampoornesh Babu is the king of spoofs in Telugu film industry right now.

Why Bigg Boss: Those who have watched his films would agree that he has the knack of cracking some hilarious jokes with his parody of popular stars. With Sampoornesh Babu in Bigg Boss house, get ready to have too much fun as he would surely be the joker of the house making you laugh with his funny antics. PS: If you haven’t seen Hrudaya Kaleyam, drop everything and watch it right now!

Nora Fatehi

Claim to fame: She had done some hot item number opposite actors like Prabhas, Ravi Teja and Jr NTR.

Why Bigg Boss: Probably the hottest item girl in Tollywood right now, Nora Fatehi can single handedly up the glam quotient of the Bigg Boss house. She was even part of SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali ( figure it out yourself). Not just that, the Canadian model of Moroccan origin also fulfills the criteria of  being the foreign import into the Bigg Boss house. 

Vadivelu

Claim to fame: He is one of the most celebrated comedians of Tamil cinema, who has the penchant of attracting wrath by making politically incorrect statements.

Why Bigg Boss: Don’t we love when contestants say something extremely stupid and dig a grave for themselves. Well, Vadivelu definitely falls under that category. From being the most popular comedian to becoming a villain of sorts due to his ugly spat with Vijayakanth, Vadivelu paved his own downfall when he gave a politically incorrect, mocking speech about Jayalalithaa. Such a loud mouth, who doesn’t who when to speak and when to keep mum is definitely an asset to the show.

Namitha

Claim to fame: Namitha is to Tamil cinema what Mallika Sherawat is to Bollywood. Having played numerous seductive roles in her career, her full bodied structure made her a hit among the masses.

Why Bigg Boss: Namitha was no doubt once a very famous heroine. Bold and sexy seductress had no problems flaunting her curves but it all came crashing down when she was pulled down by weight issues. Even though her career is at the brink of the end, this fading sultry siren’s sex appeal will make sure that men tune into to watch the show and ogle at her.

Power Star Dr Srinivasan:

Claim to fame: This self launched hero, Dr Srinivasan aka Power Star, became a laughing stock thanks to his unintentionally hilarious debut Lathika. And since then, he has turned into comedian of sorts.

Why Bigg Boss:  This goofy looking comic actor is so full of himself that he has compared himself with the likes of superstar Rajinikanth at several interviews. The funny thing about him is that he considers himself to be a star without realising that he has become the butt of all jokes. Such an interesting character who believes he is better than everyone else will play catalyst to several fights in the house.

Vijayakanth:

Claim to fame: He was once a big star in Kollywood. But now this politician turned actor is known for his awesome ( read awful) English pronunciation and memes on internet. His hilarious yoga video became viral.

Why Big Boss: If Vijayakanth ever enters the house, expect the not just the audience but even the contestants bursting into peels of laughter, thanks to his super flawed English and his perpetual state of confusion. And with friend turned foe Vadivelu in the house, Vijayakanth-Vadivelu equation might just be the high point of the show.
