Simbu received an honorary doctorate from the prestigious Vels Vistas institution earlier this year. He is currently shooting for 'Pathu Thala' while his upcoming film 'Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu' is gearing up for a grand release on September 15. He also has 'Corona Kumar' in the pipeline.

Now, the latest hot news is that Silambarasan has turned down an alcohol advertisement deal despite huge offers. After gaining too much weight a few years ago, STR used the lockdown time to get his body back to its old form and he had given up his unhealthy habits. So, the star has declined whopping offers to promote booze.

Also, the multi-talented actor made a tremendous comeback in his cinema career with Venkat Prabhu's 'Maanadu', a political time loop thriller. It is worth mentioning that 'KGF' star Yash won the fans' hearts earlier for rejecting a multi-crore Paan masala advertisement deal.
