A globally loved culinary format gets a distinctly Tamil soul as Samantha Ruth Prabhu brings together some of Tamil entertainment\u2019s biggest stars for a celebration of food, flavour, emotion and togetherness on Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV<\/p>\n
Sony Pictures Networks India today announced Celebrity MasterChef Tamil, with Samantha Ruth Prabhu set to headline the globally celebrated culinary format for Tamil audiences on Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV.
\nBringing together the irresistible worlds of celebrity, food and competition, Celebrity MasterChef Tamil will see some of Tamil entertainment\u2019s most recognisable faces step away from the sets and into the kitchen, as they take on demanding culinary challenges, unexpected twists and the pressure of creating dishes that win both the challenge and the audience.
\nProduced by Banijay Asia, Celebrity MasterChef Tamil draws on the global legacy of the MasterChef format while creating an experience that is unmistakably Tamil with local flavours, familiar personalities, and the unique chemistry of Tamil celebrity culture at its heart.
\nThe show will be a key entertainment offering on Sony VIZHA, extending across Sony LIV and digital platforms with exclusive short-form content that takes audiences beyond the main episodes and closer to the celebrities, their culinary journeys, challenges and memorable moments in the kitchen.
\nSpeaking about the show, Samantha Ruth Prabhu said, \u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to finally share this with everyone. Celebrity MasterChef Tamil is unlike anything I\u2019ve done before, and that\u2019s 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\u2019t usually get to see. What I\u2019m most excited about is watching some of our favourite Tamil celebrities\u2019 step into the kitchen, take risks, make mistakes, surprise themselves, and compete with a lot more passion than you\u2019d expect! I wish I could tell you who\u2019s cooking, but where\u2019s the fun in that? I can\u2019t wait for everyone to experience what we\u2019re cooking up with Sony Vizha.\u201d
\nWith Samantha at the helm and some of Tamil entertainment\u2019s most recognisable faces stepping into the kitchen, Celebrity MasterChef Tamil promises a fresh and celebratory take on celebrity cooking, bringing together food, fame, competition and the warmth of Tamil culture in one entertaining experience.
\nCelebrity MasterChef Tamil is coming soon on Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV, with exclusive content across digital and social platforms.<\/p>\n
