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”.

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.
