A couple of days back, when sources close to Simbu expressed that Simbu is taking ‘a step, a stride, an attempt towards peace and harmony’, they kept fans wondering over what it is.

Well the news is that, Silambarasan aka STR has gone global! Even while the young talent is basking on the box-office success of ‘Osthi’, he has joined hands with Akon and Rihanna to promote world peace this 2012!

This song has lyrics from nearly 96 languages around the globe and Simbu will be leaving to the US on December 24 to record the track with Akon and Rihanna! This will be announced at a grand scale on Christmas.

In fact, a hush-hush photo shoot was held at the Binny Mills in Chennai for this song.

Although tight-lipped about the venture, STR has posted on his microblogging page, “According to few people the world is gonna end in 2012. Yes, may be it’ll end, coz of the drought of love. Split up by the barriers called languages, we fail to conversate love. Thus a step, a scream, a stride in breaking the barriers, a stride uniting 96 languages and millions of people to build an unbreakable bond. For world peace a small contribution from an Indian... Coming soon - a love anthem for the world! Love, STR”.
