There is a strong saying that Simbu has been given a red card so he will not be acting in Mani Ratnam's next film. Simbu put a full stop to all the rumours at Sakka Podu Podu Raja audio launch. 

"People are telling that I am not acting in Mani Ratnam sir's film but I was last told I am part of the film. Even after all these allegations on me, Mani sir is ready to make a film with me. I don't know why? Maybe he is also a fan of me like my fans.

I will begin shooting for Mani sir's film on January 20 and I will complete my commitments for the film in three months flat. No one can stop me from doing that film."

Best wishes Simbu, Mani Ratnam and team!
