Simbu speaks

"யுவன் மியூசிக்-ல 'அம்மாடி ஆத்தாடி உன்ன எனக்கு தர்றி யாடி'ன்னு டைரக்டர் பேரரசு ஒரு பாட்டு எழுதியிருக்கிறார். அந்த்ப் பாட்டை அப்பாவே பாடுறார். குத்துன்னா குத்து. கொலைக்குத்து"

The above is from an interview that Simbu has given to Anandha Vikatan. Read the full interview here:

The last line of the para is what made me write this post and one which sent me into uncontrollable bouts of laughter, admiring the way he has said it. 'kuthu-nna kuthu kolai kuthu' is just too good an assembly of words. There is something about Simbu that has made me like him (of course, only as long as he stays away from uttering self-praising & boasting dialogues). He is clearly talented in almost all fields of film-making and I have been telling many of my friends that not far away is the day when he will even compose music for a film, like his father. The other fact that I like about this guy is that he comes across who is really very carefree and cool. The following incident would throw more light on what I am trying to say:

I was watching this Tollywood Vs Kollywood cricket match on TV when I was in India. Simbu was waiting to get in to bat and the camera folks were frequently focusing on Simbu bcos he was making all kinds of funny actions implying that he wanted to go in for batting. But he didn’t get to bat until the final over and he didn’t get to face a ball until the last ball of the innings. And guess what happened? He gets clean bowled. Even if it was me, I would have been embarrassed, after all the hoopla that was created before getting in to bat. But what Simbu did made me instantly like him. He started waving his bat to the spectators as though he had just scored a hundred, all this with a big smile on his face and the fans loved it too. And as he was making his way out, he promised to them that he will make it up for the flop show by his bowling. I was left smiling to myself and admiring him as I switched off the TV.

Anyway, I can't wait to hear the songs of Vallavan, especially the kolai kuthu song :) Looks like Simbu and Yuvan have been good friends from their childhood days and they share a very unique rapport, unlike other MD - Director combos. That is one reason why Yuvan churned out some great numbers in Manmathan. I am sure its only going to get better in Vallavan.

Really Simbhu have talents as you aid. But he has to take care of his tongue. Otherwise he will suffer a lot.

Very true Karthik. But I am seeing good progress on that front, looking back on how he was during the 'Kaadhal azhivadhillai' days and how he is now. Hopefully he stops all his useless talk in the days to come.
