Actor Simbu gets a red notice from the Film Producers’ Council of Tamil Nadu

Actor Silambarasan also known as Simbu got a ‘Red’ Notice from the Tamil Nadu Film Producers’ Council. The council issued a red notice to Simbu after receiving multiple complaints from producers against him. 

The Film Producers’ Council is headed by actor Vishal. According to reports, the notice was served because the producer of Simbu’s last film Anbanavan Adangadhavan Asaradhavan (AAA) complained to the Producers’ Council about Silambarasan not turning up for the shoot. The latest reports put a big question mark on his association with director Mani Ratnam’s next film, which is a multi-starrer. 

In September, Ratnam’s production house Madras Talkies officially announced that Simbu has been roped in for the film, which will also have Jyothika, Vijay Sethupathy, Aravind Swamy and Fahadh Faasil among others in the lead roles. It was touted as a much-needed break for the actor, given his last film Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan part 1 (AAA) was unanimously trashed by the critics and tanked at the box office too.
The notice stops Simbu from acting in any Tamil film, for the time being, raising questions on whether he will be replaced in Mani Ratnam’s next. According to sources, Simbu caused a huge monetary loss to the producers of AAA by not cooperating with the filmmakers to complete the second part. He allegedly asked the makers to release the film with the footage already canned, saying that it would take 3 years to complete the film otherwise. The actor’s decision has cost the producers a loss to the tune of Rs 18 crore, alleged producer Gnanavel Raja. 

Simbu remains a controversial figure in Kollywood. Rumours about his tendency to show up late for shoots and his unprofessional behavior have been doing the rounds for long.
