Tamil actor Silambarasan, popularly known by the name Simbu, has been in the limelight for his upcoming project Kamal Haasan starrer Thug Life. He has been officially announced as a part of the cast for Kamal Haasan’s Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam. The announcement was made through a promo on Wednesday. However, producer Ishari K. Ganesh has filed a complaint with the producer’s council, stating that Simbu should not be allowed to act in the movie.
Earlier, Simbu signed a contract to act in the film Corona Kumar, which was planned to be produced by Ishari K. Ganes under the banner of Vels Film International. As per reports, Simbu was supposed to be paid nine and a half crore rupees for acting in this film. Initially, he was paid four and a half crore rupees as an advance in 2021.
But it is also alleged that he did not come to the shoot after receiving the money. Ganesh filed a court petition seeking that Simbu should be banned from working in any other films till the movie Corona Kumar is completed. The case is still pending in court.
In this regard, Ishari K. Ganesh has filed a complaint with the Producers’ Association that actor Simbu should not act in any other film other than Corona Kumar.
However, Simbu’s upcoming film Thug Life, an action drama film, is directed by Mani Ratnam, who co-wrote the script with Kamal Haasan and produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, Madras Talkies, and Red Giant Movies.
Haasan is said to play a triple role in the film, along with Silambarasan, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Abhirami, Nassar, Joju George, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and Vaiyapuri will be seen in other pivotal roles.
This upcoming film marks Ratnam and Haasan’s reunion following their classic movie Nayakan (1987). The film was formally announced in November 2022 under the working title KH 234. This upcoming project is said to be Haasan’s 234th film as a lead actor.
The film has music composed by A. R. Rahman, cinematography handled by Ravi K. Chandran, and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad.
