Actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu is set to headline the upcoming reality show, Celebrity Masterchef Tamil, Sony Pictures Networks India announced on Saturday (August 15, 2026). The show, which will bring some of Tamil entertainment’s biggest stars for a celebration of food, is set to stream on Sony VIZHA and Sony LIV.

As per a press release, “Celebrity MasterChef Tamil draws on the global 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.”

Speaking about the show, Samantha Ruth Prabhu said, “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.”

The show is produced by Banijay Asia. More details about other participants are yet to be unveiled.

Samantha was last seen in the Telugu actioner, Maa Inti Bangaaram, which was released in theatres on June 19 and turned out to be a success at the box office.
