Bigg Boss Tamil Season 9, which premiered in September 2025, has introduced a diverse cast of 20 contestants, including actor-director Praveen Gandhi. Praveen is a familiar name in Tamil cinema, having directed the 1997 Telugu-Tamil bilingual film Ratchagan, starring Nagarjuna Akkineni and Sushmita Sen. The high-octane romantic action film, known for its grand visuals and A.R. Rahman's music, remains a memorable project from the late '90s.
Praveen Gandhi's journey as a filmmaker extends beyond Ratchagan. He has directed other notable films, such as the 1999 romantic drama Jodi, which resonated with youth audiences, as well as the 2001 film Star and the 2014 historical drama Pulipaarvai. Now, as a contestant on Bigg Boss Tamil 9, Praveen is stepping into a completely different challenge, one that tests emotion, adaptability, and strategy rather than cinematic vision.
