Love him or hate him but you just cannot ignore him! Simbu is one of the most talked about actors in Kollywood and in recent times he has been in the news for his involvement or should we say non-involvement in the movie Maanaadu. There was also an announcement that he would be acting in a new movie called Magha Maanaadu, following his moving out of Maanaadu. Then, later there were reports that he would be doing both these movies. However, one thing we know for a fact is that STR is currently working in the Tamil remake of the superhit Kannada movie Mufti. This movie is being bankrolled by KE Gnanavel Raja's Studio Green. In an exclusive interview to Galatta.com, this young producer opened up about STR and this ongoing project.
