“I am being targeted”: Simbu

Simbu has denied media reports about the incident, that he called up cops and reported that his car was stolen by his driver.

According to the article, in early hours of Wednesday, Simbu had called up the police control room from Speed, a night club at Grand Orient Hotel, Chennai reporting that his driver had stolen his car!

As per media reports, Simbu and his younger brother Kuralarasan had dropped in at the night club and asked the driver to wait, but later when the driver called up their mother Usha Rajendran, she instructed him to come back.

The media reports also stated that she wanted to teach her sons (brats who were unmanageable!) a lesson for their late coming.

"How can they fabricate such a story when I am away in Sri Lanka shooting with Sneha and my Silambattam unit for two songs? I left Chennai on September 3 and was back yesterday morning (Sunday Sep 14) to hear this horrifying report. This is not the first time that a section of media has been targeting me".

Simbu tells us that his brother had gone for a party with friends and when he came back the car and driver were missing in the parking lot of the hotel. He called up his mom who made a police complaint.

Yuvan Sankar Raja the singer!!!!

As reported already, Yuvan Shankar Raja has lent his voice for a song that has been set to tunes by Dharan of 'Sivi' fame. Dharan had been expressing his interest to make a song with Yuvan's voice for a long time and the consent has come as a big boon for young Dharan. The song features in the film 'Puthiya Vaarpugal' to be directed by K. Bhagyaraj and stars his son Santhanoo.

Latest reports indicate that Yuvan will be singing for another song set to tunes by Dharan for the film 'Poda Podi' which will star Simbu and Varalaxmi, daughter of actor-politician Sarath Kumar.

By the looks of it Dharan is so enamored by Yuvan's voice that he probably is making him a full time singer.

Silambattam's audio launch?

The audio launch of Silambattam has been postponed at the behest of its hero Simbu. It is now said that the official audio release will be held only after October 4th. The reason cited for this delay is that Simbu is keen that the songs turn out to be chartbusters and has asked music director Yuvan Shankar Raja to work on remixing the Vechukava Unna Mattum Nenjukulla song.
Simbu has sung this song along with RJ Suchi. It is believed that the song will top the charts just as Suchi-Simbu combination Yen Aasai Mythiliye and Yemmadi Aathaadi proved to be. Silambattam will also have another remix Nalam Thaana making it the first film to have two remixes.

The other tracks in the film are Thamil endra naan, Konnuputta, and Nalam Thana.

Simbu sings for Ennai Theriyuma

The actor has sung the remix version of 'Thanni Karuthudichu' for 'Ennai Theriyuma', whose audio launch is on Sunday. Superstar Rajinikanth has been invited to be the chief guest. But will the actor perturbed by Kuselan's problems, make an appearance is anybody's guess. 'Thanni Karuthudichu', a popular song from 'Ilamai Oonjalaadhugiradhu', has been remixed and rendered in both Tamil and Telugu for 'Ennai Theriyuma', which launches Mohan Babu's son Manoj as the hero.

Sneha Ullai and Riya Sen play the heroines of this movie, which has music by Achu. Achu, actually Arun, is the son of popular Malayalam music director C Rajamani.

The music of this movie is said to be a fusion of carnatic and hip hop. This film was made in Telugu as 'Nenu Meeku Telusa', directed by Ajay Sastri. In the movie, Manoj is said to play the role of an amnesia patient. With Mohan Babu being a bosom friend of Rajinikanth, it is expected that the Superstar will make it to the audio launch function on Sunday.

But sources close to the Superstar reveal that he is perturbed by the entire controversy shrouding 'Kuselan', and may not appear in public to launch the audio.
