Just a week is left for the start of the first 24x7 live-streaming version of Bigg Boss Tamil, titled Bigg Boss Ultimate. We had earlier reported that this edition of Bigg Boss Tamil, which is hosted by Kamal Haasan, will have the contestants from the previous five seasons appearing as the housemates. 

While a lot of names were rumoured to be part of the show on Disney + Hotstar, the makers released an innovative video to announce the first of its contestants. Featuring Vijay TV-fame Pugazh and Dheena as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, respectively, the video shows them deciphering the first contestant by following a series of clues. 

With the clues present in this video, it is clear that the first Bigg Boss Ultimate contestant to be unveiled will be Snehan, the reputed lyricist, actor, politician, and alumnus of the first-ever season of Bigg Boss Tamil. 

Having been the first-ever captain of the first-ever season, Snehan was assigned the moniker of Thalaivar and was one of the finalists of the season, and came in second place. 

The excitement has piqued just in time for the launch of the series, and fans can't wait for the rest of the contestants to be unveiled over the course of this week. 

The show is set to premiere on Disney + Hotstar on January 30.
