There is this one word which keeps even the wildest among the race to stop and think over and it is Kettavan. The Pet project of STR was announced way back in 2006 and was kept in back burner for various reasons. Every one know about the bad period of days he went through.Then we witnessed the dramatic back to back victories for STR both in the industry as well as in personal levels which took him to the Top league and there is no stop for him now.Kettavan started off with huge fan fare, with posters throughout the city which made every one to stop over to have a look on to the posters. That was the amount of expectation it got on the D Day of its announcement. But with sudden change in the industry and with few set backs Thalaivan STR went back to acting allowing himself to settle well in the industry.He later came up with a 1 min song. Ennada Nadakuthu Inga, Yen Kooda Irunthava Enga… This song was composed by Yuvan aka U1 and almost took every one on the first stroke.Now that STR is relaxed and well settled, Kettavan is back. STR said he his changing the script to keep it on par with today’s culture and expectations. He also said he his working more on the screen play and on the characterization.
Diwali is the festival of colours they say and with things shaping up it seems STR will donning the khakhi colour this diwali.STR is on a marathon mode finishing schedules one after another for osthi in mysore without any rests. the reason behind is that he wants his fans to witness his mass antics which he is famous for.Having treated the critics with back to back critically acclaimed films , STR wants to serve his mass audience with a OSTHI treat, thats why Poda podi is being deliberately delayed to release after osthi.And we at Simbu central would also want to clear the air for any rumours on poda podi’s status. There is absolutely no problems in POda podi’s making, its shaping out really good and we have the best of the best in the producers seat to handle the release of the movie.
Silambarasan aka STR is sometimes impatient, sometimes temperamental and sometimes impulsive.He had proved once again with Vaanam that his phenomenal star power is simply unparallel. It is his childlike vulnerability that strikes you the most, when you speak to him.
He may give the ‘I’m-casual-about-my-work’ vibe but there would be no compromises when it comes to work, even if that means shooting all night long without breaks.If he loves something, he will go to any extent of pushing himself as seen by the working pattern he chose during filming of Vaanam and now Osthi.The talkie portion of Dharani directed Osthi is complete, in a single schedule in Mysore and STR is going back next week to complete the last two songs and patch work.With that the film is ready, probably the fastest film of STR to be completed.
Quiz him about Osthi, he says: “Osthi is very close to my heart. It is a subject that I believed in strongly. Dharani has been a great person to work with and we completed the film is record number of days without any problems or egos. Osthi will release for Diwali”.
So what next for the young superstar? He will be completing his long-delayed Poda Podi and then moving on to his pet project Kettavan next year, a film which he will be directing. He has Vettai Mannan directed by Nelson and a film to be directed by Vetrimaran in the pipeline
But why only masala films and not hard hitting realistic films? STR laughs in his inimitable style: “Why would you want to depress people instead of giving them entertainment? There are already depressed, why do you want to depress them more?
Vaanam Completed its journey of screening past 100 days and we are thank full for all the viewers and fans who watched the movie at theatres
If you are a fan of the latest fad of six pack abs, STR aka Simbu has got something to enthrall you. For the actor will be seen with a toned body in 'Osthi', a remake of Salman Khan's blockbuster 'Dabangg'."Since Simbu is doing the role of a police offer in this Dharani directed movie, he has developed six pack abs by working hard in a gym for more than a month. He looks so tough now," say sources in the know.STR is busy working in three films simultaneously, 'Osthi', 'Podaa Podi' and 'Vettai Mannan'. "While Osthi and Vettai Mannan are commercial movies with enough scope for action, Podaa Podi is a breezy love story," add sources.
In the meantime, Simbu is giving 'valuable inputs' to his younger brother Kuralarasan aka KTR, who is set to making his acting debut soon. "STR is the friend, philosopher and guide for KTR," according to circles close to the family.
It is well known that our Thalaivan STR is Multi- talented. But seems our hero is getting accolades with penning lyrics to the songs lately. Recently he wrote a song for Osthi and he went to sing it. The song is written in the mindset of a husband singing it for his wife.Speaking to STR, he said that the song has shaped up really well and that the song would be in the lines of Evan di Unna Petthan. The Music is composed by Thaman and the movie is getting directed by Dharani.
This is what STR conveyed “have written a song in osthi and sung it for all pondati’s … like a husband singing to his wife … hope u all will love it :) ”
The crew will leave to Spain for it's final schedule, which includes shooting songs soon. And here is a exclusive pic of Podaa Podi.
The movie will be shot only by end of next year unlike the paper's quote, as we said before.
We are saying this again. The movie will happen but takes time as STR is busy with Podaa podi, Osthi and Vettai Mannan and Gautham sir with VTV Hindi version and an other commitment.
