Simbu and Dhanush - Serious or comedy?

Tamil film industry has always witnessed the presence of two powerful actors at various points of time where there would be a dichotomy of their fan base. Initially it was Sivaji and M.G.R followed by Kamal and Rajini, Ajith and Vijay and many such pairs. Though the actors in question have been sharing a perfect bonhomie, it is the fans whose adrenaline levels are always pumped up.

In the recent times, it is the actor’s duo of Simbu and Dhanush who have attracted widespread attention related to their off-screen chemistry. They are considered to be two poles from opposite directions and their minute body language in each other’s presence has been blown put of proportion.

Now it has been reported that Prabhu Deva is attempting seriously to bring this couple together for a film which is titled Agni Natchathiram to be produced by Gnanam films. But for the similarity in title with the Mani Rathnam’s film of the same name, the movie bears no resemblance with the original. It has been buzzed in the known circles that Prabhu Deva has 3-4 scripts with the right mix of comedy and action based themes. It may be a serious one like Nerukku Ner or a comedy caper like Guru-Sishyan.

Prabhu Deva had reportedly talked to Simbu who has given the green signal indicating that he and Dhanush have always remained friends and he is open to the idea of sharing screen presence with him. However Prabhu Deva is yet to approach Dhanush on this and in the event of this film getting materialized, it will only be after the dancer/director completes Hindi Pokkiri and a Vijay film.
