Silambarasan TR Asks About Playing Virat Kohli in Biopic:
Silambarasan TR, while promoting his upcoming film "Thug Life" starring Kamal Haasan, expressed interest in the idea of playing Indian cricketing legend Virat Kohli in a potential biopic. Kohli’s tweet about the star playing his song "Nee Singam Dhan" sparked interested reactions from fans.
In an interview with The Hindu, Simbu said: "People are saying this because we have similarities in our looks, but a film needs a climax, and so his story needs a befitting conclusion. Hopefully, for all that he has gone through and achieved, a biopic will happen, and hopefully, if that happens, I would love to do it. Let’s see."
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with Star Sports Tamil, Simbu said that he knew Virat had the potential to become the next Sachin long ago. He recalled an incident where he met Virat and asked how he knew him (which he didn’t). Later, he realized he needed to become successful enough for Virat to know him. Recently, he rewrote a video shared by Royal Challengers Bangalore about Kohli’s favorite song and reshared it with a compliment.
Silambarasan is set to star in several projects including "Thug Life" with Kamal Haasan, "STR 49" directed by Ramkumar Balakrishnan, "STR 50" directed by Desingh Periyasamy, and "STR 51" with "Dragon" maker Ashwath Marimuthu in town.
