Silambarasan has expressed his admiration for Ajith on several occasions. His maiden directorial venture ‘Vallavan’ saw Silambarasan play a youth who admires Ajith.

‘Kaalai’ featured him with a few scenes with posters of Ajith.

The actor seems to have gone a step ahead now and will be appearing with the ‘Billa’ look in his forthcoming venture ‘Silambattam’. According to sources, Simbu comes in ‘Billa’ attire in the climax scene with the same background scored used for Ajith.

Anu Vardhan (wife of director Vishnuvardhan), the costume designer of ‘Billa’ made some changes in the same suit that Ajith wore for ‘Billa’, to fit Simbu’s size.

Simbu even utters some dialogues made by Ajith in ‘Billa’ for ‘Silambattam’

Actor-Politician dad Sarath Kumar is all supportive of his daughter Varalakshmi’s debut in Kollywood. Even though Sarath Kumar has given his daughter full freedom and believes that she is a mature and intelligent girl who can handle anything on the sets of Poda Podi with Silambarasan, he is still being a typical father and being a protective dad.

If sources are to be believed, Sarath has talked to all his close friends in the industry, to watchout for his daughter and inform him immediately if, she is into any kind of problem. Silambarasan who heard this is said to be spending time only on his laptop keeping himself away from the outside world to avoid problems.

Silambattam Songs -Rachna, Maurya and 100 girls

A song shot in a grand and aesthetically appealing set which costs a fortune, with a bevy of beauties dancing along, has always been the cynosure of his father T. Rajendar’s films, and it is also so now in his films. Simbu makes sure every film of his has a song with a grand set and eye-popping models. Remember ‘Manmadhan’ of Manmadhan and ‘Loosu Pennae’ of Vallavan, which starred models from Mumbai and abroad?

Keeping in line with this trend, Simbu shot a song for his upcoming Silambattam with Mumbai item girl Rachna Maurya and about 100 models from Mumbai. The song cost approximately Rs. 75 lakhs. Simbu, who has a penchant of introducing some difficult and catchy dance movements with every film he does, has worked on some real and never-seen-before dance moves in this song too.

In Silambattam, Simbu plays a temple priest who turns into a violent man under some compelling circumstances. Sana Khan is his heroine. The shooting will be over by August, after which filming for Poda Podi begins. Sarathkumar’s daughter Varalakshmi debuts in Poda Podi as an actress.
