Silambarassan has come a long way since his child actor days. Affectionately called Simbu, the Little Superstar has come of age following the success of Gautham Vasudeva Menon’s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa with both the upper class elite audiences and the masses rooting for him. The actor has shot into the big league of heroes with hit director Lingusamy and the classy Mani Ratnam sounding him about their next films.
From being the mass hero everyone loved to hate, Simbu has metamorphosed into a soft romantic hero with VTV. On his image makeover, the actor says, “Yeppadi irundha naan ippadi ayitain (‘Look how I’ve changed’ — a punch line made famous by comedian Vivekh). Ask him about the shift and Simbu says, “Generally, heroes enter the industry in romantic roles and then move on to action characters. In my case, it was the other way around. After the crass mass films I’ve done, the classy VTV — apart from giving me an image makeover — has helped create an all-new fan base. I hope all my future films too will be breezy romantic entertainers.”
