Actor
simbu had last appeared on screen in a bloated, obese version of him in the disastrous
movie Vanthaa Rajavathaan Varuven helmed by
sundar c and bankrolled by
lyca productions and following the result of the
movie at the
box office, he was signed for
venkat Prabhu's Maanaadu.
Bankrolled by
suresh Kamatchi the
movie faced huge delays due to the extreme dedication of the lead actor and financial troubles were caused for the
producer who ultimately announced that
simbu is no more a part of Maanaadu. Then talks happened between the
producer suresh Kamatchi and the family of Simbu.
After this
simbu signed a new agreement and committed to shooting for Maanaadu from
2020 and has now gone to
sabarimala and before starting to
sabarimala he has released a video that was taken from his boxing training for his character in Maanaadu.
simbu escaped after the first schedule in
karnataka to
thailand and returned to
india but has since then not went to the shooting and this has to lead to speculations that Mufti
remake has been dropped, and Gnanavel
raja has lodged a complaint against
simbu in producers council.
