Kamal Haasan was speaking at the trailer launch of the Tamil 'Bigg Boss', which marks his television debut.
Talking about the show, he said it will help him to reach every household and capitalise on the love he has earned so far.
"The show has a very wide reach. I don't have to don an avatar this time. I can just be me, in my most natural self, and reach every household," he said.
A lavish house set on a budget of over Rs 1 crore has been constructed here to host the show.
To go an air on Star Vijay on June 25, the show will feature 14 participants who will battle it out for 100 days.
Kamal said he will visit the show once a week, every Saturday.
