Actor Silambarasan has done a noble deed by releasing the Vote Song intended to ensure 100% voting in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The song is trending at national level in Twitter and it is definitely going to have a huge positive impact among the voters. In this exclusive interview multi-talented star spoke about the Vote Song and also about his upcoming films: What prompted you to do the Vote song? Casting the vote is everyone’s duty. Many people are taking initiatives to encourage people to vote. I think, just putting a video asking everyone to vote and telling that it is their duty is not going to work. Many do not like that. Beep song became a big issue. I thought if we express something through a song it will definitely create awareness. That prompted me to do this. What you think will be the impact of Vote song? I won’t say this will change the perspective of entire Tamil Nadu about the elections. But personally I feel very happy for doing something like this from my side. Even if it changes the decision of 10 people who had thought of boycotting the elections, it will be good. I wanted this song to be trendy and reach the current generation. If we keep campaigning ‘ottu podungal ottu podungal’ no one would listen. I wanted to do something like a folk song which is mass and funny. I wanted to give it like that so that it will reach. You composed music for the song? Yes. Why did you opt for simple lyrics? You cannot go and speak with them in old fashioned language. You cannot keep advising them like ‘Thirudadhey Pappa Thirudathey’, Even if the content is correct we should look at the right way to convey that. So I thought this kind of a song will connect to the listeners easily. The Election Commission has been involving celebrities in their campaign to ensure 100% voting. Were you invited for that? I don’t think asking people to vote through videos as an effective tool. More than doing that I wanted do something in the way they will like. The message should be conveyed in a funny and likeable tone. That’s why I opted for this medium. Your father T.Rajendhar has been in politics for decades since MGR’s days. Do you have any political stand and plans to enter into politics? I don’t know politics. It is never my cup of tea. I don’t have any idea of entering politics. Message for fans regarding elections Many of us keep thinking what is going to happen if we vote. Even I have missed voting a few times. I wanted to do something to change that thought process. If you listen to this song that thought process will definitely change. We think that even if we vote the same people are going to rule us again and again. We have to understand that this happens only because we failed to do the right thing .It has nothing to do with any political party. All are trying to do good things. No one is personally bad. It is everyone’s duty to vote. We have to do our job correctly. Just lamenting about politicians is not going to do any good. This has become our habit. I think it is stupidity to keep scolding the elected representatives without doing our duty properly. We heard ‘ Idhu Namma Aalu’ will be releasing on May 20. Tell us about that. Date is yet to be confirmed. But I hope it will release on that date. The film has come out really well. Things are falling in place. ‘Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada’ will follow What is the status of ‘Achcham Yenbathu Madamaiyada’? Both the films are complete. AYM is also done. So can we expect an announcement on AYM release soon? Yes. One by one it will happen. Tell us about ‘Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangathavan’ with Aadhik Ravichandran? It will be a different film for me. Currently I am putting on gaining weight for one of the roles. I used to remain slim always and it is pretty difficult for me to gain weight. But for the character, I have to do that. I hope everyone will enjoy the film. When will the film go on floors? Who are the heroines? Film will start by the end of June. Heroines have not confirmed. Work is just going on. Thank you so much Simbu, for such a nice and genuine interview…
Simbu’s noble initiative through the ‘Vote Song’ to advocate 100% polling in the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections has received unanimous praise from fans as well as the general public. We caught up with the charismatic star in an exclusive telephonic conversation in which he gave us some inside info on his career and other personal details. Simbu informed us that the entire shooting of ‘Achcham Enbadhu Madamaiyada’ is completed and the film will hit the screens pretty soon. Meanwhile all necessary work is well under way for the smooth release of ‘Idhu Namma Aalu’ on the 20th of this month. Looks like Simbu is all set to make up for all the unfortunate lost time and rock with two back to back releases this year.
After the vote song, Simbu does it again, but this time for Veera Sivaji. This film being directed by Ganesh Vinayak has Imman’s music. The film features Vikram Prabhu and Shamili in the lead. Yesterday, Simbu crooned a number ‘Meendum Thaarumaaru’ penned by the current sensation Danga Maari fame Rokesh. It has to be recalled that there is a ‘Thaarumaaru’ song in Vaalu too. Simbu is known to render his voice for other heroes and this one is said to be an intro number for Vikram Prabhu in the film. This is also the first time that Simbu has lent his voice for Vikram Prabhu. Sources say that the unit had a fun time recording the song and as usual, Simbu had aced it this time too.
Multi-talented actor Silambarasan's 'Vote Song' which is his voluntary initiative to encourage people to vote in the elections without fail has been received phenomenally well by his fans and the youngsters in general. The actor has always been interested in singing and he has crooned hit numbers in his own films and also the films of other actors over the years. The latest to join the list will be the song he has recorded for one his peer heroes. Simbu has recorded a song composed by D.Imman for 'Veera Sivaji' directed by Ganesh Vinayak. The film stars Vikram Prabhu and Shamlee in lead roles. The song starts with the word 'Thaaru Maru' and the makers felt Simbu would be the apt choice to render the song. The 'Manmadhan' actor immediately agreed to sing the peppy number and the song has been recorded by D.Imman yesterday. This is the first time. Simbu has sung a song for Vikram Prabhu. We hope the song as well as the film become super hits.
