Silambarasan watched Delhi Belly recently and laughed so hard his sides hurt! When the suggestion to remake the film came up, STR was very keen on doing it we hear. It is a Bollywood film that had Imran Khan in a pivotal role. What set the film apart was its liberal dose of toilet humor and its expletive - ridden narrative.
One wonders whether the Tamil film audience might be game for this coming of age film. Even so, word is that the Tamil remake of Delhi Belly will be modified and watered down in order to suit Tamil tastes. Aamir Khan, the producer of the Hindi version has let slip that some production houses are interested in buying the rights to the film so negotiations are going on currently to seal the deal.

    Looks like releasing a single track before the audio launch is becoming a habit for Simbu. After all, the method was a super success for Vaanam when he released the charbuster Evan Dee Onna Pethan… as a single. Now, he is hoping to repeat the same magic with Osthi Maamu…, the title song in his Dabangg remake, Osthi. Unit sources say the song will be released as a single track by next week, along with a teaser trailer. Talking about the song, the film’s composer Thaman says, “Osthi Maamu… is the intro song in the film and has been sung by Baba Sehgal. Ranjith, Rahul Nambiar, Naveen and I have provided the backing vocals. It is a peppy mass number, which is sure to become a chartbuster, especially with kids. Vaali sir’s lyrics and Simbu’s dance will be the highlight.” Meanwhile, we hear that the composer has finally recorded the song that everyone wants to hear — the Tamil version of the item number Munni Badnaam Hui…. However, all that Thaman is willing to say on the song at the moment is that it is sung by a “very special person”.

It is well known that Thalaivan STR  fond to try new combinations. This time he has bought down the sensational Bollywood Singer and rapper Babha Seghal to Kollywood.
Babha Seghal has sung the Intro song in Osthe titled Osthe Maaman. A very fast paced and peppy number that would bring any audience to start dancing on their toes.
We welcome Babha Seghal to the industry and at the same time STR for asking him to lend his voice.
Thaman our Music Director for Osthe is so happy with the song. The song will be released later this weekend along with the trailer.

In the name of STR , fans from the southern towns come forward to lend their hands to help and create awareness on people's need and held camps to improve their benefits.

Happy Birthday..

Silambarasan is in no mood to grab unnecessary attention by reacting to statements made by his colleauges like Bharath and Jiiva.

In fact both the stars lashed out at STR in recent press meets, with Jiiva even calling him a “back stabber”.
STR said: “I think only insecure people try to do back biting and grab attention by making unwarranted sensational statements and I don’t want to give undue importance to them by commenting on what they said about me”
The star has completed work on Osthi in Mysore and is all amused about the attention that the film and the famous Munni song is getting.
Says STR : “Everyday there is something written about the Munni song. I read reports stating that Nayanthara is doing the song and on the same day another paper reports that Katrina Kaif is doing the item number! This will be a new song and the truth is that music director Thaman is yet to compose the tune. It will be a fast peppy song and the set is getting ready in Chennai. The girl who will be doing the song along with me and Sonu Sood is yet to be finalised”

Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone are in the race to do the sexy item number in Osthi

Malaika Arora Khan made Munni a household name last year. And the makers of Osthi, the Tamil remake of Dabanng, are looking for an actress with equal oomph who can make the audience here dance to her tunes!
There are many names of top Bollywood heroines doing the rounds for this top item number picturised with Simbu and ‘villain’ Sonu Sood. According to sources, it looks like Simbu and director Dharani are keen on roping in Sheila Ki Jawani girl, Katrina Kaif, for the hot item number. It seems they are willing to shell out anywhere between a whopping Rs 75 lakh and Rs 1 crore for Salman Khan’s ex-girlfriend just for a five day shoot!

Silambarasan is a mad genius, who does many things at the same time.

He is shooting for Osthi, writing script for the film that he is directing, crooning for other heroes and penning lyrics for songs.

Currently, the actor is completing work on Osthi, in Mysore.

He spoke to sify.com: "I can’t believe that Osthi is complete and only two songs are remaining. We shot the film in record number of days and all credit goes to Dharani’s perfect planning and execution. He made me work like Chitti Robo (Laughs) from early mornings to late night.”

STR adds: “ Dharani is clear headed and he is in complete sync with me which brings the best in me. The dubbing for the film has started in Chennai and it will be my Diwali release”

STR's next film with Nelson has been delayed. Recently they completed 2 schedules in a mere 20 days where some action scenes and the lead pair - STR and Deeksha Seth's scenes were shot. However, a difficult situation has cropped up because two more heroines are needed in this 3 - heroine film.
The director and STR were keen to have Anushka in one of the roles but they have been unable to get her dates. Kareena Kapoor was approached but she scared them away with the astronomical price she demanded. So STR and the director are still hunting for heroines. Word is that they are looking for a big time Bollywood babe or perhaps a foreign import. Filming will begin when the leading ladies are finalized and that is likely to be only in November.

Simbu had partly directed 'Manmadhan' and had made his debut as a full-fledged director through 'Vallavan', and both the films tasted success at the box-office and the former proved a landmark film in his career. This was especially because of the script and concept which received a warm welcome among audience.

Now that STR has decided to re-start his long-pending directorial venture 'Kettavan', he is planning to make it big. The actor-filmmaker has said he would make the movie simultaneously in three languages.
"Kettavan will be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, since the story is universal and it would be enjoyed by audience of all languages. I will start the shooting very soon," says Simbu, who is currently busy with three projects.
Denying reports appeared in a section of the media that 'Kettavan' is actually a sequel to 'Manmadhan', Silambarasan says, "Though the style is going to be the same, the story and characters will be different."
Happy about joining hands with his good friend Yuvan Shankar Raja once again, Simbu says, "Already one of the songs from the film ('Yennada Nadakudhu Inga...') was out on the net and it is a huge hit."

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 un parallel. It is his child like 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 actor will be singing two songs in this film that is set to release a single soon

First it was Evandi Unne Petthan… from  Vaanam. Then it was Vilayadu Mankatha… from  Mankatha. Now, it is Vosthi starring Simbu and Richa Gangopadhyay, which will have a single track being  released, well before the official
audio launch of the film. Confirming the news, Thaman, the music director of the film, says, “Yes. We will be releasing the title track of the film shortly — possibly within a week or so. The song is in the postproduction stage.” Simbu, who is known to croon a number in almost all his films, will be singing in Vosthi as well. A source confirms to CT that Simbu will be singing two songs in this movie. “One will be a mass number and the other one will be a duet with Shreya Ghoshal,” the source adds. What remains to be seen however, is if Vosthi will have a Munni badnaam hui… number. “The team,” Thaman informs, “even considered dubbing the same song to Tamil. However,
I refused. I wanted some fresh tunes, something that would suit the Tamil sensibilities. Essentially, we looked at creating a mass appeal.” Ask him if this is the mass song that Simbu is to croon and he remains tightlipped, saying that he wants it to be a surprise.

Single track audio releases seem to have become the fad of the day in Tamil cinema, what with a number of leading films releasing promotional audio tracks before the actual audio DVD hits the stands, thus creating more expectations than ever.

Grapevine has it that STR's forthcoming film, 'Osthi', will join this league and will see a one track audio release! The tunes for 'Osthi' are composed by Thaman and the megaphone for this action-packed entertainer is wielded by Dharani.

It may be mentioned that Simbu's previous film, 'Vaanam', had seen a single song release as well and it was well-received by fans and music lovers. The original film, 'Dabaang' in Hindi, had a smashing item number, 'Munni Badnaam Hui...', and expectations are high to see the remake of this number and fans are eager to know who will reprise this hot song in Simbu's film.

The talkie portion's shoot has been wrapped up and the film features Simbu and Richa Gangopadhyay in lead roles, with Jithan Ramesh, Saranya Mohan, Revathy and Sonu Sood in pivotal roles...

T Rajendar has lodged a counter complaint with the Chennai police after a film financier alleged that he and Silambarasan threatened to murder him. According to financier Ramamurthy, T Rajendar had availed a 59 crore loan from him but he returned only 28 crores and refused to give back the 31 crores.
          When the financier asked him to return this 31 crores, both T Rajendar and Silambarasan threatened to kill him, Ramamurthy alleged. Refuting this, T Rajendar in his complaint to the police today said that Ramamurthy is foisting a false case against him and his son STR. T Rajendar clarified that Ramamurthy distributed his Monisha En Monalisa film in the year 1999 on minimum guarantee basis. A case pertaining to the rift between them due to the losses incurred is still pending in the court, T Rajendar said. He added that a similar police case was filed by Ramamurthy during the previous AIADMK regime too and same thing is happening now.

Silambarasan has said that film financier Ramamurthy has foisted a false case on his father and him. The star said that Ramamurthy alleged that he threatened to kill him and slapped him across his face but this is totally baseless. STR made it clear that he was at the Osthi shooting spot in Mysore when the alleged incident happened.
The actor added that he can prove that he was in Mysore when the incident happened and said that the financier is cooking up stories to land him in trouble.

Work on STR's Vettai Mannan is going on at full speed. Some time back, a fight sequence was shot at the Binny Mills. Apparently, in this scene, STR and Jai take on the baddies and beat them all up to pulp. It has shaped up very well according to those in the know, and has some truly great action.
        Cinematographer Sakthi has used some groundbreaking technology for these shots and for the first time ever, two cameras have been used to create a particular effect that is supposed to be absolutely mindblowing. STR loved the scene when the rushes were shown to him, and he personally congratulated Sakthi for his fine work, we hear.

National Award winning director might cast Simbu in his next film

Filmdom was rife with rumours that filmmaker Vetri Maaran, who made the award winning film, Aadukalam, with Dhanush, has roped in Simbu, yet another young star of Tamil cinema for his latest project, titled Vada Chennai (North Chennai).

If Aadukalam had a Madurai milieu, Vetri returns to home base for Vada Chennai, set in North Madras.

He's been He's been working on the script for the past year. STR plays the protagonist. DC has learnt that there is another star who will be playing a powerful cameo.
When Vetri was asked by this newspaper to clarify, he neither confirmed nor dismissed the rumour. “I am still in the process of finalising the script. Only after I complete it, can I make a decision about the lead actor. As for as the cameo -yes, there is a powerful role, for which I am planning to approach a few biggies in K'town.“

The teaser trailer for Ajith's Mankatha was aired during the release of Naan Mahaan Alla in theatres everywhere. This innovative idea went down very well with fans and a huge buzz was generated. STR who is a self - confessed fan of Ajith's decided to try a similar approach for his next film.
      The teaser trailer for Vettai Mannan has been released online and it is a big hit. STR's portrayal of a gangster has intrigued viewers and they want more. The film is being directed by Nelson and Yuvan has done the score. Jai is supposed to be the surprise package in this film. This move by STR seems to have been the smart one to make!

When Simbu's forthcoming 'Vettai Mannan' teaser got out, although fans and film patrons were pleased with the slick trailer and Simbu's suave look, there was something bothering all fans. The tunes in the teaser reminded one of the interludes from 'RocknRolla' by Guy Ritchie, a British crime thriller that released a few years back.The tunes for 'Vettai Mannan' are scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja and the megaphone for this film is wielded by Nelson. Simbu shares screen space with Deeksha Seth and Jai plays a pivotal role in this film. The team is currently in Brazil canning few important scenes and songs.
 With many people talking about this track being 'lifted' from 'RocknRolla', Simbu spoke to his fans and expressed that the teaser isn't the final version and the track in it isn't by Yuvan Shankar Raja! He also added that the teaser got leaked! We wonder what went wrong here...
         However, Simbu assured that the final version of the teaser will be released to fans, shortly.

His performance in Vaanam might have been well received, but Bharath is peeved about the publicity that he was denied during the promos of the film. "I've not been honoured," the actor says, "I've done a multi-starrer before (Pattiyal) and director Vishnuvardhan had ensured that both the actors in the film got due recognition in terms of publicity." According to him, that wasn't the case for Vaanam. "People loved my character and I learnt a lot while working on the film. But, what matters at the end of the day is your face on the publicity material and I'm unhappy that my count is low. To be frank, there was almost nothing!" So, did he get a chance to speak to producer Ganesh and actor Simbu? "Yes," he says, "And they said they'll do the promotions for me as well but I could see only one face in the posters and publicity material of the film. To some extent, I could talk to them but beyond a limit, I did not want to lose my self-respect as well. Now, I just want people to know that I'm not against multi-starrers but Vaanam is a sad phase of my career because of the lack of publicity.

It looks like Silambarasan is going through a winning spree as his films are gaining him more accolades. On the dot, his career was slightly dwindling with his ‘mass-image’ factor and a surprising turn with ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’ as his career touched the best levels. His recent release ‘Vaanam’ emerged as a winner amongst audiences and is regarded as one of the best films of this decade. The actor has got himself enlightened choosing unique scripts that are completely different from each film. Say for instance, ‘Poda Podi’ that is scheduled for release by next couple of months is touted to be a breezy romantic entertainer. While ‘Osthi’ is a solid commercial entertainer (remake of Salman Khan’s ‘Dabangg’) and ‘Vettai Mannan’ is a crime-thriller shot extensively across various parts of the globe. The teaser of ‘Vettai Mannan’ involves the delineation of Silambarasan’s character as a sharpshooter. The film will travel through the unexplored maps of Underworld.

சில மனிதர்களை நாம் ஏன் நேசிக்கிறோம் என்று தெரியாது. ஆனால், கண்மூடித்தனமாக நேசிப்போம். நீண்டகால நேசிப்புக்குப் பிறகுதான், இதனால்தான் இவரை நேசித்து இருக்கிறோம் என்று உணர்ந்து கொள்ள முடியும்.பார்த்தவுடன் பழகலாம் என்று தோன்றுவது ஒரு ஆணுக்கு பெண்ணிடமும், ஒரு பெண்ணுக்கு ஆணிடமும் மட்டுமல்ல; ஒரு ஆணுக்கு ஆணிடமும், பெண்ணுக்கு பெண்ணிடமும் கூட தோன்றலாம்.

ஒரு மனிதரிடம் அல்லது ஒருவரிடம் ஊருக்கே பிடிக்காத விஷயம் என்று ஒன்று இருக்கலாம். ஆனால், அந்த ஒரு சொல் மட்டுமே பிடித்த நபர்களும் இருக்கலாம். இப்படியெல்லாம் நான் சொல்லிக்கொண்டே போனால், தொடர்ந்து கொண்டேதான் இருக்கும்.இப்படியே பல்வேறு கோணங்களில் பார்க்கப்படும் ஒரு நபர் வேறு யாருமில்லை, என் அன்பு நண்பன் சிம்புதான். எனக்கு எப்போதும் சிம்புவின் தன்னம்பிக்கையும், துணிச்சலும் பிடிக்கும். ஆனால், இதை மற்றவர்கள் வேறு விதமாகப் பார்க்கிறார்கள். அதைப்பற்றி அவரைப்போலவே நானும் கவலைப்படுவதில்லை. சிம்புவின் பலமே அந்த நம்பிக்கைத் திமிர்தான். இது பலமுறை அவரிடம் நேரிலேயே சொல்லியிருக்கிறேன்.

STR and Gautham Vasudev Menon have been regarded as the best pals in Kollywood now. In fact, they would love to be addressed as brothers rather than ‘Friends’. STR’s career got through jet-speed progression after ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’. The actor played a cameo role in the Telugu version ‘Ye Maaya Chesavo’ as well.

If Str (Simbu) comes from his Mysore schedule wearing a lean,mean look,he should thank his colleague and Bollywood baddie Sonu Sood.
It is said that both Str and Sonu,who are shooting for Osthi near Mysore,have gone on an all-wheat diet.Sonu is a fitness freak and doesnt eat any rice.Says a source,Simbu was keen to knock off some quick weight and get a leaner look for the film.
While comparing notes,he realized that his diet and that of the unit included large amounts of rice.So,he asked Sonu for a tip and the baddie advised the cook that serves the unit,not to serve any rice,at least to Str. 
Str and Sonu are also said to have a gruelling exercise regime because just like in Dabangg,in Osthi too,the hero and the villain take off their shirts at some point and show off their six-packs.
