Sony Pictures Networks India has announced Celebrity MasterChef Tamil, with popular actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu set to headline the Tamil edition of the globally popular culinary reality format.

Bringing together celebrity, food and high-stakes competition, the show will feature some of Tamil entertainment’s most recognisable personalities as they trade the spotlight for the kitchen. The celebrity contestants will face a series of challenging culinary tasks, unexpected twists and intense competition as they battle to create dishes that impress both the judges and audiences.

Produced by Banijay Asia, Celebrity MasterChef Tamil will retain the essence of the internationally acclaimed MasterChef format while giving it a distinctly Tamil flavour. Local cuisine, familiar celebrity faces and the vibrant spirit of Tamil entertainment will form the heart of the show.

Samantha, who will headline the new show, expressed her excitement about the unique experience. She said the format is unlike anything she has done before and that the opportunity to see popular Tamil celebrities take risks, make mistakes and surprise themselves in the kitchen was one of the reasons she was drawn to the show.

The actress also teased the mystery surrounding the celebrity contestants, choosing not to reveal their identities and adding to the anticipation around the show.

Celebrity MasterChef Tamil will be a key entertainment offering on Sony VIZHA, with the show also streaming on Sony LIV. The digital rollout will feature exclusive short-form content, offering viewers additional glimpses into the contestants’ culinary journeys, challenges and memorable moments from the kitchen.

With Samantha Ruth Prabhu at the centre of the show and a lineup of popular Tamil celebrities ready to put their cooking skills to the test, Celebrity MasterChef Tamil promises to bring together food, fame, competition and Tamil culture in an entertaining new format.

The show is coming soon on Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV, with additional content set to roll out across digital and social media platforms.
