Simbu has released an emotional video in which he has opened up to his fans thanking Mani Ratnam for giving him the opportunity to work in 'Chekka Chivantha Vaanam' at a very crucial time in his career. He has also expressed his regret for all the complaints against him regarding being late for shootings as waking up late has been a habit from child hood.

Simbu has assured all concerned that henceforth he would be punctual and see to it that no one has anything to complain about him. The crowd favorite hero also asserted that he aspires to be the next MGR and Rajini and there is nothing wrong in doing so. After 'Chekka Chivantha Vaanam', Simbu has signed on four films of which 'STR34' will be produced by Vijaya Productions, 'STR35' directed by Simbu himself, 'STR36' 'Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya 2' directed by Gautham Menon and 'STR37' produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu.

Do watch the video here for more from Simbu himself where he gets frank about many more aspects of his career as a premier entertainer.
