Simbu may have faltered initially but today the guy is going steady in his career. Gone are the days when he worked for sundry directors or for his daddy's out of date formula films. The guy has become industry savvy and is very choosy about the stories and the directors he will be working for. Give him a good story and a solid director; you can have his call sheets to your convenience. Good at fight scenes, dance and horse-riding, this multi-talented young artiste says he will call it a day for directing once he completes his Vallavan.

"I've been getting good counsel from various quarters that I should keep away from directing for the time being. I can be a director any time I want but I can be a hero only while I am young." says bearded young actor with a big grin on his face, very much resembling Papa T Rajender. Expectations are great for his forthcoming flick Saravan. If it makes it big, this guy will be going places.
