Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran has been roped in as the host of the debut season of the cooking reality show “MasterChef Malayalam.” Vijay Sethupathi will host the Tamil version, actress Tamannaah Bhatia the Telugu version and Kichcha Sudeep will host Kannada version of the show.

“I'm very excited about this development. I've always been extremely passionate about cooking and food as a subject matter. Owing to my chaotic shooting schedule I've never been able to fully commit myself to the love for culinary creativity," Tamannaah said.

She added: "But yes I do enjoy cooking up a storm in the kitchen once in a while for my loved ones in my free time. I can't wait to treat myself to all the exotic culinary delights on set. It's going to be extremely exciting and gratifying."
