All didn`t seem well for Simbu as he made news for the wrong reasons lately including complaints of non-cooperation during the shoot of a Tamil film titled Anbanvan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan`. The allegations piled on him by the film`s director and the producer earned him a bad press.

However, there was a ray of hope as the actor had bagged an important role in ace director Mani Ratnam`s next film, a star-studded project with Vijay Sethupathi ('Sye Raa' guy), Arvind Swamy (the 'Dhruva' villain is unstoppable these days), Jyothika, Fahadh Fasil (Mollywood actor) and Aishwarya Rajesh in important roles. Now, Simbu seems to have come back with a bang as is evident from his latest workout video.

Donning a baseball hat and clad in a black tee, the bearded actor is seen sweating it out in the gym like there`s no tomorrow. Reportedly, the strenuous regimen is a part of the preparation for his film with Mani Ratnam. This has not only come off as an happy news to fans but also as a strong silent response to all the naysayers out there. His determination, we say, is unbreakable!
