Simbu's song 'Demonetization Anthem' from the Tamil movie 'Thattrom Thookrom' (yet to be released) has stirred another controversy. The song criticizes the centre's demonetization move and how the people faced a cash crunch following its announcement. The number takes potshots at the GST regime as well.

With the possibility of the BJP members conducting protest before the actor's house, there was police protection for his residence. Stating that he is a person who always says his opinions boldly, he also clarified that song was neither composed nor written by him and it was also not for his film.

"I decided to croon it as the song spoke about the difficulties faced by the people. There is no wrong in it. People have been facing problems due to the demonetization and the song speaks about the same. I nor the song have no intention hurt the sentiments of the people," Simbu said.
