Yesterday, actor Simbu updated that he will make the official announcement of his 48th film on September 18. The project is being backed by Vels Films International. Indiaglitz was the first to break to you that STR48 is 'Corona Kumar' by director Gokul. Read at: Exclusive updates on Simbu's 'STR48' - Announcement tomorrow

Today, STR announced officially that 'STR48' is 'Corona Kumar' as we reported earlier. This venture is a sequel/spin-off of director Gokul's previous film 'Idharku Thane Aasaipattai Balakumara'. The multi-talented star has also shared a title teaser of the movie which confirms the same.

Also, Silambarasan posted earlier that there is a special surprise for the CSK fans associated with him. It is now revealed in the promo that the 'Corona Kumar' team had made a tribute song to CSK, which will be released tomorrow to mark the beginning of the second phase of IPL 2021.

Think Music India has bagged the audio rights of Corona Kumar. Vijay Sethupathi is likely to reprise the ‘Sumar Moonji Kumaru’ role and essay a cameo in the fun-filled project. STR is likely to start shooting for this outing on September 25. On the other hand, Simbu is currently shooting for GVM's 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu' and Obeli Krishna's 'Pathu Thala'.
