Previously, Haasan was rumored to quit after Season 6
In December 2022, when Bigg Boss Tamil 6 was nearing its finale, there were rumors that Haasan would no longer return to the show as a host. The reason behind this was said to be other projects of the actor that were keeping him busy. However, all these rumors were later quashed when the show's first promo was released, featuring Haasan.
