Inside, you would hear all sorts of chaotic expressions of joy. People love it, especially the songs, stunts, and the “Simbuisms”. One should look at the audience reaction to the songs to believe it! ‘Nalamthana’, ‘Vachikkava’, ‘Where is the party’ seem be everyone’s favourites! Simbu plays two roles in this film: a strong-willed villager and a demure lad who turns violent in the second half. Though audiences enjoy both parts equally, the “villager” seems to more preferred by the public! Surprisingly, though the “demure-boy-turned-macho-man” character has the best songs and dance sequences, yet the other character has left a deeper impression on the audiences’ minds. The reason? They have not seen Simbu in such a mature character before - we just have to stop at that to avoid leaking the plot! And Simbu’s Billa getup is a bonanza!

Heroines: Simbu’s heroines are always a topic of discussion just like the Bond girls, and they have an exotic aura, e.g. Yana Gupta and Mandira Bedi. The trend continues in Silambattam too - a wonderful beauty Sana Khan has been introduced in this film. Plus we have Kollywood’s “Mona Lisa” - Sneha, the lady with a beautiful smile! Both these girls walk away with your hearts despite their abbreviated roles and outfits!

Clearly, Silambattam is another feather in Simbu’s cap! Technorati Tags: Silambattam, Simbu, Sana khan, Hot, Pictures, Sexy, Actress, Kollywood, Gossips

With top class banners and popular heroes of the day to share the screen with her like Surya in Ayan, Dhanush in Padikkathavan [movie stills] and Bharat in the Tamil remake of Jab We Met, she surely has a long way to go.

Tamanna who is acting in the Tamil remake of the Blockbuster Hindi movie Jab We Met has ruled out any scope for on screen lip lock and size zero figure along the lines of Kareena Kapoor .

The actress has categorically made her statement clear, "I will not do kissing scenes; it’s in my contract. Kissing scenes can’t contribute to a film’s success; it’s the emotion that counts." Size zero she believes won’t suit her and “Besides, it doesn’t suit Indian bodies and can’t be retained forever."

Tamanna lays her conditions as well as her remuneration. The audience is charmed by her and she is making hay when the sun is shining bright for her. No wonder that she has raised her fee by more than100 hundred percent from 30 lakhs to nearly 70. With glamour the defining quotient for heroines of the age along with their acting talents, it needs to be seen whether she will hold on to her vow for no lip lock and size zero or ...
