Kamal Haasan takes us through a journey into the new Bigg Bouse house for the season.

If the new colourful designs and decors are something to look out for, the most curious piece of setting seems to be the jail cell in the corner of the house

Even though there was no live audience present due to the rules and guidelines in place, showrunners have managed to digitally connect the audience with the host

Kamal started off the show commemorating the frontline workers of the global COVID-19 pandemic, in a segment he called as 'Manidha Vanakkam'

The segment saw many frontline workers and the kin of workers who passed away during their service talk about their experiences

The host welcomed our first contestant of this season - Rio Raj. Kamal chats up with Rio's wife Shruthi and enquires about her concerns with Rio's participation in the reality show

The next participant, Sanam Shetty, says that she hopes that the show will help her grow as a person.

The next participant, Rekha, has arrived. Actor Urvashi sent a lovely message wishing that participating in this show will be a big change in Rekha's life

Our next contestant is Bala. Being an individual with a passion for fitness, he says 'I was never recognised by the media when I won fitness competitions. I am hoping that it will change'

Our next participant, Anita Sampath seems to be starstruck by the presence of Kamal Haasan

The next participant, actor-activist Aari said, 'My idea is just to be an honest person here. I think this show will take me to every corner of the state'

MMA fighter-model Somashekar said, 'I don't have a job for over 10 years now. I want to earn money, travel, get married, have kids. I want to do everything that I missed out over the past decade'

Actor Gabriella said, 'I see Bigg Boss as a nice platform to build myself. Also, I worked with Shruti Haasan as her sister in 3 The Movie' She said that she's confident that she'll win the show

'I am more than just a comedienne. I will win Bigg Boss for sure... Cup-u mukkiyam #Bigil-u', said Aranthangi Nisha

Ramya Pandian got onto the stage and said, 'I have to enter the Bigg Boss house to see if this lockdown will be better than the one I've already spent'

'I stand for positivity. This is my one go at getting into mainstream media', says Samyuktha, a social media influencer

Our next contestant Suresh Chakravarthy, a well-known actor, and producer had a good conversation with Kamal Haasan

'Entertain everybody with your singing,' was Kamal Haasan's advice to Aajeedh, who was our final contestant

After introducing the contestants, Kamal Haasan signed off from the show, and now it is all up to the contestants and the Bigg Boss, until next week

Bigg Boss spoke about an important rule in place apart from the usual ones. Partial lockdown is in order — one bedroom, one toilet, one bathroom and two stoves will be shut for operation

That's how the Grand Launch of Bigg Boss Tamil Season 4 came to a close. Let's see how things turn out over the next 100-odd days
