May 18, 2013 STR turns spiritual - Times Of India Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 8:21 AM

It looks like Simbu is undergoing a different kind of makeover. The actor, we hear, is seen practicing meditation, avoiding non-vegetarian food and keeping a big distance from parties and functions. It looks like the meditation has done a lot of good for the actor as he has become immensely calm and composed. He has also been able to cultivate positive energy around him and his friends. On the career front too, things are looking up for him as the actor has two films up for release, Vaalu and Vettai Mannnan. The actor's Love Anthem is also making news as Akon was in Chennai to shoot for the video.

சமீப காலங்களில் சிம்புவிடம் நிறைய மாற்றங்கள் தெரிவதாக அவருக்கு நெருக்கமானவர்கள் தெரிவித்தனர். படங்களில் கூட இமேஜ் பார்க்காமல் நடிக்கிறார். பேச்சிலும் மென்மையை கடை பிடிக்கிறார். அத்துடன் ஆன்மீக செயல்பாடுகளிலும் ஈடுபட தொடங்கி உள்ளார். சிம்புவுக்கு பிடித்த உணவாக இருப்பது அசைவம். அந்த உணவு வகைகளை தற்போது சாப்பிடுவதை தவிர்க்கிறார். நட்சத்திர ஓட்டல்களில் நடக்கும் விருந்துகள் விழாக்களில் பங்கேற்பதையும் நிறுத்தி உள்ளார். நண்பர்களுடன் சுற்றுவதையும் குறைத்துக் கொண்டார். அடிக்கடி தனியாக கண்களை மூடி பத்மாசனத்தில் உட்கார்ந்து தியானம் செய்கிறார். சிம்பு தற்போது வாலு, வேட்டை மன்னன் என இரு படங்களில் நடிக்கிறார்.

May 10, 2013 After Akon, is it Rihanna next? Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 8:18 AM

Now that we all know how Akon turned desi with a vengeance in Chennai, the latest on the Love Anthem front is that singing sensation Rihanna might be on board too. Simbu is hoping to rope in Rihanna to provide female vocals for his special number, and we believe he's this close to sealing the deal. Akon, with whom the Kollywood actor struck a good equation when the R&aB singer was in the city, is, apparently, actively involved in getting Rihanna to say yes to this. A source says, "The team has touched base with Rihanna, and she is expected to revert soon. It is still not clear whether she'd come to Chennai to shoot for her portions, if she decides to take it up. Akon has fallen in love with the music scene in India and is keen to do more such projects."

May 9, 2013 Simbu to do a cameo for VTV Ganesh? Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 5:42 PM

Simbu's friendship with comedian Santhanam, whom he introduced into the film industry in 'Manmadhan' and with VTV Ganesh is known very well to everyone. VTV Ganesh is making Inge Enna Solluthu (IES) starring himself and Meera Jasmine with Santhanam playing an important role. The latest buzz is that Simbu is all set to do an important cameo for VTV Ganesh in the film. 

Simbu had also recently done a cameo role in Santhanam's 'Kanna Laddu Thinga Aasaiya'. The title 'Inge Enna Solluthu' is taken from Ganesh's popular dialogue in Gautham Menon's VTV and is being directed by Selva. In IES, Ganesh plays his age and the story is about a 45 year old man, said to be a chronic bachelor falling for a girl and how romance brews between them.

May 8, 2013 Veshti-clad Akon does the kuthu with STR Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 2:57 PM

He may not have been mobbed at the airport, but gearing up for STR’s Love Anthem – it seemed everybody wanted a piece of Akon. On set at Binny Mills, the ‘Smack That’ singer impressed actor Silambarasan and the crew gearing up for the shoot with his quick desi transformation in a crisp white veshti-sattai. And if this wasn’t surprise enough, STR tweeted later: ‘He has tried our kuthu step and he just rocked it :) 

And beyond the buzz of the five-time grammy nominee’s traditional avatar, it turns out the Love Anthem team cannot stop raving about the singer’s humility. “I’ve never met a superstar as ‘superfriendly’ as Akon,” says photographer Karthik Srinivasan who shot the stills for the anthem. Srinivasan elaborates, “I don’t know whether the whole crew like the light guys and backstage hands knew just how big Akon is, or whether they’ve heard his music before....” He goes on, “But at the end of the shoot, a hundred people surrounded him to take photos with him – it was like a ‘Rajini-reception’!” 

While the specifics of the shoot sequences are still under wraps, STR does tells us that the video will include elements such as “peace symbols, candles and Indian dancers”. One can chance a guess that these visuals will be set in place in the post production stages, given the chroma key set (green screen that allows a different background to be substituted) – in the photos that we’ve glimpsed of the shoot so far. This certainly ties in well with the fact that the lyrics with inputs from Akon – are multi-lingual. “The song has words in about 96 languages,” reveals STR. He adds,“This version will be different from the last version of the song. The new version will be more about oneness and the need to spread love.” Apparently the actor was scheduled to shoot in the US while on tour there, but couldn’t work out the dates at that time. 

Now that the project has come together over a year later, the actor couldn’t be happier. He shared the feeling with fans on twitter saying, ‘God has always delayed things for me but has never ever denied it . Trust and belief is the only thing which has saved me all my life :)’ Clearly, smileys won’t be in short supply in STR’s statements this week

PEACE IS MY GOAL - STR Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 8:21 AM

Simbu might have invited unwarranted criticism when he first embarked on his ambitious project, The Love Anthem, but today he's having the last laugh as Akon flew in to namma Chennai to record the song and shake a leg with him Today, I am a different person. I feel no competition or jealousy anymore. Truly, feel blessed at all that the world has given me even during my lows. I want to give back to the world now 

Simbu is no push-over and brushing aside some of the negative press about his Love Anthem in the past, he says, “Lots was said about the anthem, the timing of it then and my US trip. But to all the backbiters and small minds who belittle me, the proof is in the music,” he laughs. STR who wrote the Love Anthem in 96 different national and international languages encountered some unpleasant comparisons and mocking, but his fans stood firmly behind him and the video’s teaser went viral online. He opens up, “It wasn’t easy dealing with such baseless criticism, but I have my fans and family to thank for the continued support. My only aim was to bring out a song for peace. There is so much going on in the world today and we, the youth have so much power to change the way we live, progress and protect our own...” 

Having completed 28 long years in the industry (he started off as a child artiste when he was just nine months old), Simbu says, “Honest work always gets recognition. I knew one thing when I started acting as an adult — that I wouldn’t want to do anything that would embarrass my parents. 

Films don’t appeal to me because of my role in it or plush locales that they are shot at, they have to have a larger message for the society. 

Meaning doesn’t emerge from off beat films alone, even commercial flicks can have a message. Than people calling me as great actor, I want people to say he is a great human being and that would be the biggest achievement in my life.” Talking fondly of Akon, he says, “I have read about him in the past. 

In fact meeting him far exceeded my expectations. 

As an actor I can gauge star quality and he is one person who has real star quality and warmth. When I wrote this song, I only had him in mind to collaborate with. As soon as I pitched it to him he was thrilled. Even when the song is out I'm sure his fan base will increase in Tamil Nadu.

“ Was he nervous? “I was very nervous. Obviously, he is such a talented musician and I didn't know how he would react. The minute he landed, so much was running through my head -`will he like my lyrics', `will he want to change them’ and if he will be easy to work with,” he says and continues, “The minute we met he was so warm and suggested we get to work right away. But I told him let’s shoot from Monday and not Sunday. He was cool. He didn’t have any tantrums or airs about himself.” So, did he change the lyrics? “None whatsoever. He said he loved the lyrics as they were. Akon found depth and passion in the lyrics. I can’t tell you how touched I am by his generosity in helping me live my dream. My dream was always to give back something to the world. This track is that medium. I want to promote peace.“ He adds, “Akon always introduces himself by announcing his name or the artistes featured in his music and he introduced me too by saying `Akon and STR' without me even asking for it.

“ Over biryani and other south Indian dishes, Akon tuned into STR's spiritual side. Friends close to STR say that the actor is deeply spiritual and off late has been in an introspective mood. Prod Simbu a little and he opens up, “I am not the same Simbu. Life and my close family have taught me to pursue my dreams no matter what the outcome. I feel no competition or jealousy anymore. I am truly happy if people are doing well. I am so very proud of Dhanush for all that he has achieved. The comparisons people draw mean nothing to the both of us. My main concentration is to better myself as a human being.“ And what prompted this sudden reflection? “My graph if you look at it carefully is a self-made one. Yes I have been fortunate to have supportive parents who have some exposure to the film industry, but I have worked incredibly hard. As a youngster it took a while for people to take me seriously. My talent spoke for itself but to get that talent noticed wasn’t easy. So, in this long journey I have realised that the strength one seeks is within us, the God that we all look to for protection is around us. We need to put out good to receive good.” If the song bombs, will you still be happy? “Yes, of course. Commercial success perhaps drives a newbie, but to me it’s about doing the right thing.  

The world has given me so much and let me trump every trough in my life. This is my dedication to the world. The song is all about loving each other and having no space for hate or animosity.”

Akon goes desi, does a kuthu jig! Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 2:00 AM

Akon's recent whirlwind visit to Chennai was about all things Indian. The R&B superstar — in the country to record and perform for Kollywood actor Simbu's Love Anthem — looked every bit the local, dressed in a traditional south Indian vesthi, as he tried a kuthu dance. 

"For one of the lines from the song — Pyar Prema Kadhal... — I wanted Akon to do a kuthu step in a traditional costume that'd surely appeal to audiences. When I told him that, he said, 'You wear the costume; If I like it, I'll do it.' When I wore it and stood in front of him, he exclaimed, 'Wow, this is so cool'. His wife also liked it and so, we went ahead with it," says Simbu. 

The music video, choreographed by Brinda, was directed by Vignesh Shiva and Nelson. Akon, we hear, loved the steps and spent time to learn them. A source, who was present on the set, says, "Akon watched some Tamil kuthu songs to get the steps right. Once he was on the dance floor, he kept improvising and surprised everyone." 

That's not all; the Smack That singer also tucked into some Indian cuisine. Says Simbu, "Oh yes, I wanted him to have biryani, and ensured that it was specially made. He loved it. He was also very curious to know about movies and music made in India." 

The Love Anthem, which features lyrics in languages from across the world, will be released in the US, and Akon will be a part of the launch function as well. "He immediately agreed to grace the occasion," says Simbu, adding, "For me, it's a dream come true. Despite being an international superstar, he was very cooperative and supported us thoroughly during the song recording and shoot."

May 5, 2013 Akon hits city on a traditional note Posted by PRAVEEN KANNA at 6:53 PM

Hip-hop’s crown prince Akon made a quiet entry into the city, as hardly anyone recognised the American singer-songwriter at the Chennai International Airport. For once, there were no bouncers, no security staff crowding around him and no fans mobbing him as he made his way out of the rather run-down Anna International Terminal around 8.30 pm on Saturday night. 

 “No one at the airport recognised Akon as he arrived from America, with a stop-over in Dubai, via an Emirates airways flight,” said an airport source. Since his name wasn’t on any of the VIP protocol lists, there wasn’t any hullabaloo as he and his companion breezed through Customs and Immigration to enter namma Chennai. The ‘Smack That’ star was at his effervescent best as he was hailed by Simbu - with whom he is collaborating to sing the Love Anthem - during the course of his stay in the city. 

“Simbu was clearly prepared to roll out the Tamilian red carpet because we saw him use the traditional saalvai (shawl) welcome for Akon, which the singer really appreciated,” added an airport source. Along with Simbu, Arya’s brother Sathya - who acted in Puththagam - was also there to welcome the singer, amongst others. Akon will reportedly be in the city till May 6, working on the song’s lyrics, singing it and shooting for the video as well.

“Simbu is all set to record another version of his Love Anthem, and is collaborating with Akon for it. This number will talk about the oppression south Indians face in other countries. It will be more of a tribute song, and will focus mainly on spreading love and feeling of oneness,” says a source. Simbu, of course, is excited about this collaboration, and says, “I’m very happy that Akon is coming down to namma Chennai to record for the final version of the Love Anthem. He will be in the city for three days to record for the song. He will also shoot for a day for it. The song has words in about 96 languages, and is about unity. We were scheduled to shoot in the US when I toured there, but couldn’t work out the dates at that time and now, it’s finally happening.” “In his previous collaborations, Akon had just lent his voice. But with Love Anthem, he will be contributing to the lyrics department and also feature in its video,” adds the source.
