The latest buzz around Kollywood is that Simbhu has walked out of K.V. Anand’s “Ko’, he’s reported to have been completely bowled over by the offer of Mani Ratnam. It seems that the veteran filmmaker has approached Silambarasan to perform the lead role in his next project slated to take off by November. Probably, it is expected to be a bilingual film featuring a hot and happening actor of B-town in lead role for the Hindi version. When approached the spokesperson of Silambarasan, he remained tightlipped mentioning that nothing has been officially confirmed till the moment.

Meanwhile, Simbhu is curiously awaiting the release of his upcoming film “Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’ slated to hit screens on Feb 19. With Udhayanidhi Stalin of Red Giant Movies acquiring the film’s rights, he has been marketing this film across his satellite channel networks thereby publicizing the film to a bigger audience.

Simbu has completely turned his focus from action-packed films to breezy romantic entertainers. As a matter of fact, the actor decided not to take up action-films seeing the disappointing box-office result of his films ‘Kaalai’ and ‘Silambattam’.

The actor has now completed shooting for Gowtham Menon’s ‘Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya’, which is slated to hit the screens in January 2010. Earlier, Silambarasan had plans about shooting ‘Poda Podi’ with Sarath Kumar’s daughter Varalakshmi in female lead. Suddenly, the project was shelved and Simbhu will start filming ‘Vaaliban’ that is produced by SS Chakravarthy of Nic Arts.

The heroine for this film is yet to be confirmed and Yuvan Shankar Raja is tuning melodies. Silambarasan states that ‘Valiban’ is inspired from his real life one-sided love.
