Japanese Sumo wrestler Yama to enter 'Bigg Boss 5'

After The Great Khali entertained the audiences last year in the "Bigg Boss" house, this year Japanese Sumo wrestling champion Yamamotoyama a.k.a. Yama will make a guest appearance in the reality show.

The 601-pound or 272-kg wrestler will add zing to the finale week. However, certain changes will be made in the house to accommodate the six feet four inches tall Yama.The dining area will be converted into a bedroom-cum-eating area for the wrestler so that he has enough space to do his daily chores. He will be provided with special placards with pictorial representations that will help him to communicate his needs to the housemates

The inmates of the Bigg Boss house will now have to face some heavyweight competition.The retired wrestler who was accused of match fixing in April 2011, will enter the house this weekend. 

A source from the airport informed Mumbai Mirror, "Yamamotoyama will be arriving in Mumbai today from Tokyo by a Singapore Airlines flight at 22.50 hours. Since they have a new range of aircrafts - A380, A330-300 and Boeing 777-300, which has 30 inches wide premium First Class and Business class seats, it will be easier to accommodate Yama. Other airlines couldn't accommodate his size." 

"His on ground transportation is a big concern and a range of SUVs are now being considered. The cars will have to have huge doors to enable Yama to enter the vehicle," added the source. 

When contacted the channel, the spokesperson confirmed Yama's participation and added He will first meet Sanjay Dutt on the sets. A translator will be present to help him communicate. Inside the house, the other contestants will be asked to use sign language to interact with Yama. He will also be given 8-10 placards with pictures like food, sleep, water etc."
