Stardom does not affect Simbu

No amount of fame and money has affected Tamil superstar Simbu, who said he has never yearned for stardom. Giving the credit to his upbringing, he said, “I don't even remember the first time that I faced the camera. I come from a family of actors and since I started acting at a very young age, I experienced stardom at a time when I didn't even understand it.” Son of popular filmmaker T Rajendhar, he said, “My parents raised us in such a way that my brother and I never got carried away by fame and stardom. We were always prepared for the worst. Tomorrow, even if nobody is willing to produce a film with me.”

Simbu's upcoming Tamil romantic comedy 'Idhu Namma Aalu' will finally hit the screens after a long delay. Talking about the film where he is paired opposite former flame Nayanthara, he said the film is unlike audiences have seen from him before. “I haven't done anything like this. The film has no fight scenes, no introduction song, and even the special number 'Maaman Waiting' isn't as glamorous as how much songs are usually shot. In a way, it's a risk that I'm doing this project.”
