The actress said, “I’m incredibly excited to finally share this with everyone. Celebrity MasterChef Tamil is unlike anything I’ve done before, and that’s exactly what made it impossible to say no. Food has a wonderful way of bringing people together, creating memories, and revealing a side of you that the cameras don’t usually get to see.”

“What I’m most excited about is watching some of our favourite Tamil celebrities’ step into the kitchen, take risks, make mistakes, surprise themselves, and compete with a lot more passion than you’d expect!” I wish I could tell you who’s cooking, but where’s the fun in that? I can’t wait for everyone to experience what we’re cooking up with Sony Vizha,” she added.

Produced by Banijay Asia, “Celebrity MasterChef Tamil” will follow the format of the internationally popular MasterChef franchise while adding a distinct local touch. The show will feature well-known personalities from the Tamil film industry competing in the kitchen.

The culinary reality show is expected to premiere soon on Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV.

Meanwhile, Samantha is preparing to embrace motherhood as she awaits the arrival of her first child with filmmaker husband Raj Nidimoru.
