After a string of flop films, Simbu wrote the story and screenplay for 'Manmadhan.'
The film that co-stars beauties like Jyotika and Mandira Bedi was a turning point in Simbu's career.
After 'Thotti Jaya' and 'Saravana,' the film 'Vallavan' is going to be a mile stone in his life as an actor. Simbu is directing it himself. The 3 heroines are Rima Sen, Sandhya and Nayantara. Even as the film shooting started, problem raised its ugly head.
Producer P L Thenappan called a halt to shooting accusing Simbu of having lavishly spent 60 lakhs in just 4 days of shooting. Then discussions were held with father and son and the shooting resumed.
Produced totally under Simbu's control, P L Thenappan has seen some portions of 'Vallavan.' And the gold chain on Thenappan's neck was transferred to Simbu's neck.
"So much talent at this young age?" remarked Thenappan in amazement after seeing these portions and immediately gifted his gold chain to Simbu.
Simbu's entourage is thrilled that this is a sure hint that 'Vallavan' will be victorious indeed!
