Fans Throng STR with their Warm regards.

London is proving that its a tough place to shoot Tamil movies. I mean that in a good way. London is now full of our TAMIL people and they just loved to see their loveable STR @ Thalaivan Silambarasan in the sets of Podaa Podi.

It was a tough task managing them for the crew and our brother STR was like, stunned to see such reception from the crowd. The shooting was taking place in a local Grocery shop and suddenly the crowd started  coming over. They wanted to have a snap and to share few words with our STR and there was kind of a situation there.

Later the Cops where called as our beloved fans were not controllable. Later Simbu came out and had few words with the Fans as seen above and left for shoot. It is not that he is avoiding any Fans or well wishers, it is simply that he was not willing to compensate the shoot for his personal gesture. That is our Thalaivan Silambarasan.

We say sorry to the Fans present out there, if we had by any way hurt your sentiments. The crew of Podaa Podi is one of the best that is available and we on the behest of them say sorry if so ever they hurt you all. Thanks.

PS : Bayapadurathukku, Simbu @ STR ondrum Eli alla, Avar PULI athay maranthu datheenga ;)

Vaanam is what Simbu is upto.

With almost every site confirming the remake of the critically acclaimed Vedam by our Thalaivan Silambarasan, we are here with further more details. As said earlier, Manchu Manoj "Ennai theriyuma fame" will grease the role of a Rock star in the movie.

Meanwhile Simbu plays the role of a cable guy in a slum. He has a friend accompanying him throughout the movie and sources say that Santhanam would be casted in for it, but not yet confirmed.

It is also said that the music composer would be changed from the original Composer M.M.Keeravaani to that of a native composer. Reports say that Anoushka is considering her role, as she feels that she can't do enough justice to the role offered.

Simbu has given a 20 day long schedule for the movie and the shoot starts from this Saturday "10th July". Once he completes his part, he will fly to London where he will start shooting for the much awaited Pooda Podi.

Stay tuned in for more updates on the Cast and Crew of Vaanam.

Its Party time for Simbu.

It has a been a quite easy ride for our Simbu this season with Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya grossing huge collections and setting up love examples. Simbu is now a busy man, and has quite changed a lot, the character Karthik as evaded his bondness to wild wire and he has lost his attitude to a level. Normally when Simbu's movie releases we can see him announcing his next film in quick succession, but this time its all a surprise to fans and media that he hasn't announced a movie even after the movie completed 91 days.

I personally was quite amused as Simbu never does something like that. So here are the details that we managed to understand and ready to share with the Fans. Simbu is not taking rest. He his shooting for a untitled movie with Lingusamy in and around Chennai. Parts of Shots with Simbu alone are getting shot silently and to the shock , the lead actress is not yet identified. The movie is canned in a rapid force and it is said that the shoot will go on till June 2nd week and after which our brother will leave to UK - London for Podaa Podi.

Again a surprise, now this has to be watched. Normally our Brother Simbu announces his next move, but this time, Lingusamy said that Simbu will shoot Podaa Podi first schedule between June and July and will come back to the sets of his Untitled movie. And again Varalakshmi Sarathkumar said that she was happy to meet the crew by June for the shoot. No wonder, our Simbu is understood only by the Gods.

Recently Simbu was spot at a huge party in Chennai with his friends. He was amused and enjoying each and every moment. Now its time we celebrate too as our VTV is nearing the 100 days mark.

Ps : A reporter I recently spoke with said, brother , your hero seems to be moulding himself into a super star. Every one are praising him, and we are sure that the lady luck is shining on him and let him hold the shine. Well its time that reporters barged him and that they are now ready to support him.

For all Fans we have news that there is a new set of guys who are using our Pictures as well as the Fan page of Silambarasan in their site, claiming they are official. We are not bothered for them saying they are official as we ourself aren't interested on it, but we are worried with the usage of news and images from our site, which serves for the loyal fans as well as we are worried that they will show case our brothers name in a bad way.

Lingusamy - Cloud Nine - Simbu - Macau - The Sensational combination.

So, what’s in store for the commercial hit maker now? “

My next film is with Silambarasan for producer Durai Alagiri. After VTV, Simbu has become a major star and has a new-found elite audience following. 

My mission now is to write a script that will cater to his audiences as well as my mass constituency. I think it is going to be a deadly combination at the box-office. 

We are going to Macau to do some brainstorming and work out a viable script. Yuvan will compose music for the film and we are on the hunt for a new heroine.”

Well, it known that Simbu will not sign in Tamannah and would instead suggest for a new comer from Bollywood as the movie needs one such character.

Youth Icon Simbu : Times of India

Silambarassan has come a long way since his child actor days. Affectionately called Simbu, the Little Superstar has come of age following the success of Gautham Vasudeva Menon’s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa with both the upper class elite audiences and the masses rooting for him. The actor has shot into the big league of heroes with hit director Lingusamy and the classy Mani Ratnam sounding him about their next films.

From being the mass hero everyone loved to hate, Simbu has metamorphosed into a soft romantic hero with VTV. On his image makeover, the actor says, “Yeppadi irundha naan ippadi ayitain (‘Look how I’ve changed’ — a punch line made famous by comedian Vivekh). Ask him about the shift and Simbu says, “Generally, heroes enter the industry in romantic roles and then move on to action characters. In my case, it was the other way around. After the crass mass films I’ve done, the classy VTV — apart from giving me an image makeover — has helped create an all-new fan base. I hope all my future films too will be breezy romantic entertainers.”

Simbu Missing ? A Article from the columnist of Behindwoods.

Tamil Cinema is not short of debates at any given time. Seven or six years before people were debating about who would be the next superstar. Then came the director’s period where creators showcased the uniqueness. The debated topic changes to who is the best either Bala or Selvaraghavan or…..

Yes, once again the trend changes and we are now speaking about world class films, and what ones needs to do to get noticed globally and who are those technicians who have that potential to take Tamil Cinema across the borders.

When we debate on this we speak about Kamal, Bala, Radha Mohan, Sasi Kumar, Selvaraghavan, Suriya, Murugadoss and the list goes on…. But I personally feel one name is getting either less or no importance in such kind of debates. Yes it is none other than Silambarasan himself.

With the kind of talent he has got it looks a bit. odd for me to leave this man in such kind of debates. At his age, apart from acting he is focusing on direction, singing, editing, sound engineering and script writing. But I just want to ask myself is this critics mistake or Silambarasan’s one.

I rather blame more on Silambarasan than critics. Yes and am not here to question his ability but to question his decision in choosing his scripts which is not up to his mark.

People say VTV or Manmadhan is his best, but I do feel Thotti Jaya is his best in terms of performance. Yes, Jaya is definitely not guy next door. Had you watched the movie you would definitely have been absorbed into it, for the guy has beautifully played the role. The stunt sequences were not the normal ones and more than the dance was really fantastic and matured. I can’t see normal Silambarasan’s dance, but he behaved in Thotti Jaya even when he danced.

When it comes to VTV lots of people were surprised and shocked after seeing his performance. When Harbhajan Singh beats Sachin’s record of 200 runs in ODI every one will be surprised but when Viru gets it people will just appreciate and I just clapped for his performance in VTV. Because I was just waiting for the guy to shift gears.

I am not writing this column to say Silambarasan has to be choosy in his roles, but I want to say that we are missing some revolutionary scripts from his end.

Something like Subramaniapuram where the film has invested lots of confidence in producers and distributors, films which has quality rather than just commercialism. We haven’t seen something from you which could set or change the trend.

Yes I do agree that some of his good works have been tossed up, every few people know that he has penned Loosu Penne.

He definitely has the guts to make his critics like a Sunday newspaper horoscope.

Now the audience are very clear that they are even dare enough to just slap a commercial flick even if it come from big guns. They are clearer on logics and started hating commercialism where logic goes for a toss.

I hope Silambarasan will be very aware of this change. This change will definitely suit actors of his kind who have lots of talent.

We have technicians like KS Ravikumar with whom we expect either 2 films a year or 3 in 2 years to provide us more entertainment on the other hand we also have technicians like Manirathnam, Kamal whom we never expect even one film a year, but when they showcase their thoughts in a 70 mm screen we would definitely expect some magic in it.

But when it comes to Silambarasan, as a critic I do expect a balanced output between the above two.

I would definitely suggest Silambarasan to spend at least 20 percent of his time in other languages like Telugu and Malayalam. He may not cast in the entire film but when he scripts or when he gets an opportunity to do a cameo he may focus on it. Definitely it will be a wise choice to even involve in multi-starrer scripts with other state actors. This will definitely give him visiting card in other states.

Silambarasan is a good creator, sometimes a script may require at least 100 Crores to justify its visuals and during that time this visiting card will definitely be vital in taking risks.

If Silambarasan could take some brave steps, then definitely he is lot more than just ‘Young Superstar’.

Crossing Over with Producer Ganesh of VTv.

What’s HOT gets talking to producer-turned-actor Ganesh, who has created quite an impact with his role in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa

‘Inga enna solludhu? Jessie Jessienu solludhilla?’ Every time lovers watch Ganesh pose this question to Simbu in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV), they gain the courage to pursue their love. The unassuming actor who captured the audience’s attention as Simbu’s friend in VTV, is very much the same person off screen as well.

ACTING STINT IN VTV… 

As I was one of the producers of VTV, I was actively involved in the production of the film. I used to participate in the discussions which went on till late in the night. One fine day, Gautham Vasudev Menon asked me to play Simbu’s friend in the movie. I was initially hesitant as that character was pivotal to the film and I wasn’t sure if I would be able to pull it off. 

FROM A PRODUCER TO AN ACTOR… 

I have done few cameos earlier in Vaaranam Aayiram and Vettaiyadu Vilayadu. Acting was by sheer accident. During the shooting of Vettaiyadu Vilayadu, the guy who was supposed to play the role of the kidnapper of Kamalini Mukherjee did not turn up. There was no other person to portray the character. That was when Kamal Haasan asked me to play the role of the abductor who gets killed in an encounter. 

A LOT OF DIRECTORS AND PRODUCERS ARE TURNING ACTORS… 

Producers or directors taking up acting is not an issue at all. What matters is whether they suit the character. For instance, VTV had a lot of fresh elements. All of a sudden, Simbu was shown as a lovable boy and Trisha was seen in sari in most part of the film. Probably, people liked me for my voice modulation, body language and presentation in the film. Novelty casts a spell on every one. The artiste should suit the character. 

EXPERIENCE IN VTV… 

Well, first of all, let me tell you that I was not the cameraman for Kaakha Kaakha as I’m introduced in the film. I really loved working with the whole unit of VTV. During the theatre rounds of the film across the state, I realised that it was not only couples in love, who were thronging the theatres, but also family audiences, including elderly people over the age of 60. 

TAMIL CINEMA... 

Tamil cinema has come of age. But one aspect that really hurts me is that though we are technically more sound compared to other film industries, our talent is not recognised. Tamil films, with such good technicians and cast, should have a wider appeal. We should come out of the shell and make sure that our films reach a wider audience. We should work towards that.
