Mini Biography
Born to one of Tamil Cinema's most notorious
filmmaker, Thesingu Rajender and popularly
known as Simbhu, Silambrasan frequently
acted in his father's productions. He was also
trained as a singer and could sing ballads, as
well as fast-paced songs. He also has a
younger brother, kuralarasan, who will soon be
following in his footsteps. As a child
Silambarasan practically worshipped his idol,
Superstar Rajnikanth. He started emulating
him in his acting skills and style and became
known as Little Superstar. He was also a
childhood sweetheart of Rajnikanth's eldest
daughter, Aishwarya, and planned to marry
her. However as he grew up, he became more
passionate about films and could not devote
more time to spend with her. In addition, her
mother, Latha Rajnikanth, strongly opposed
their romance and put an end to it. Aishwarya
then went on to marry another young film star,
Dhanush. Although Simbhu was heartbroken,
he openly declared Dhanush as his rival and
his heartbreak became an inspiration for his
6th film as an adult hero, Manmadhan. In his
first five films which were hardly even average
grossers, he was heavily criticized for
imitating Superstar Rajnikanth's style,
dialogue delivery and actions. Everyone
predicted he will never be able to prove his
worth in films. However, with manmadhan, he
proved everyone wrong when they saw the
genius in him.He penned the story, screenplay
and even ghost-directed the film himself. His
acting in the film resembled that of Kamal
Hassan himself. The film, which was all about
how women cheated men, became a huge hit
and his first real break as his previous 5 films
as an adult hero were unsuccessful. In
mid-2005, at the age of 25, he became the
youngest director ever in Tamil Cinema to
direct his directorial debut, Vallavan, the
sequel to 2004's manmadhan. He is also
virtually often referred to "the bad boy of
Tamil Cinema" due to his enormous attitude.
