2. The AAA of scandals
With the possibility of being barred from the industry by Producer’s council, AAA is the ace of all Simbhu scandals. Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan (known as AAA) was a box office failure and the director and producer wasted no time in claiming it was owing to Simbhu and his unprofessional behaviour. In a press conference, the producer told the media the following:
“Never in my wildest dreams did I think that a film called Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan with Simbu would push me into a miserable state like this. The minute he got the advance, he took all matters into his own hands.
He had promised me that the movie will begin in April and release for Deepavali. Several producers who had worked with him had warned me that he was not professional. But I believed the word he gave me because he was a big actor and I thought there were ulterior motives to the accusations. So I decided to fund the film. But the film that was supposed to start in April only began in July.”
“For the second schedule, we planned to travel to Dubai, but Simbu pointed out the hot climate in Dubai and asked us to shift the location to London. He delayed the shoot. After two months of talks, he finally agreed for Dubai. Then, he said that he would reduce his weight and come for the shoot. But he didn’t do anything to reduce the weight. Without no other choice, with the same body physique, we shot Ashwin Thatha’s portions in Chennai,” the producer claims, as per reports.
This is not the first time that allegations of this nature have been leveled against the actor.
3. When he dated Nayanthara
STR and Nayan were one of the most sought-after pairs in Tamil cinema but they had gotten on to a very rocky start. Meeting just before the shooting of Vallavan, their intimate pictures of kissing were leaked to the public and both actors were called out for allegedly being indecent. The pair used this to their advantage and even went so far as to replicate their real-life kiss in reel for the movie.
4. STR and Hansika
Simbhu’s relationships have always been under immense scrutiny. Therefore when the pair took to social media to announce they were dating and were to marry soon, it sent Kollywood fans into a media frenzy. Their romantic banter on Twitter was widely publicized each and every time, and soon enough they announced their breakup online too. Simbhu sent a very sourly worded open statement to media regarding the same.
