Bigg Boss Tamil 10 has delivered an unexpected twist even before the contestants could settle inside the house. Popular YouTuber and film critic Prashanth Rangaswamy has reportedly been eliminated on stage, meaning his Bigg Boss journey ended before he could enter the house. The shocking development has created considerable buzz among viewers on the show's premiere day.
Prashanth Rangaswamy Eliminated Before House Entry
According to reports from the premiere, three contestants were reportedly brought onto the stage, including Prashanth Rangaswamy and models Javith and Prithvinath. They were given a topic and asked to speak for two minutes each. Viewers were then asked to vote for the contestant whose presentation they preferred.
Prashanth reportedly received fewer votes and was sent back from the stage, resulting in an unusual first-day, pre-entry eviction. The development is being described as part of a new format introduced for Bigg Boss Tamil 10.
Prashanth Reacts to His Eviction
Following reports of his elimination, Prashanth appeared to acknowledge the development through a post on X. He thanked people for both their support and criticism and said he was returning to work without regrets or disappointment.
His reaction has also received support from former Bigg Boss Tamil contestant Sanam Shetty, who expressed disappointment over the eviction and suggested that Prashanth could potentially return as a wildcard contestant.
Prashanth's Recent Controversy Over Toxic Review
Prashanth had already been in the news before his reported Bigg Boss entry. He claimed that he received a legal notice from the team behind Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups following his review of the Yash and Geetu Mohandas film.
The YouTuber publicly discussed the alleged notice on social media, bringing additional attention to his name shortly before the Bigg Boss Tamil 10 premiere. The claim and the circumstances surrounding it have been widely reported, although the reported legal dispute should be distinguished from his Bigg Boss participation.
Vijay Sethupathi Hosts Bigg Boss Tamil 10
Vijay Sethupathi returns as the host of Bigg Boss Tamil 10, which premieres on September 6, 2026. The latest season introduces a new approach to contestant selection and pre-entry competition, making the reported eviction of Prashanth particularly significant.
The season's theme is Carnivizha, bringing a carnival-inspired concept to the show. A pre-show titled Bigg Boss – The Common Man was also conducted, with Maya S Krishnan as host and former contestants Oviya, Aari Arujunan and Raju Jeyamohan serving as judges.
For now, Prashanth's reported elimination has become one of the biggest talking points surrounding Bigg Boss Tamil 10. Whether the makers eventually bring him back as a wildcard remains to be seen.
