Actor Simbu has been constantly in news for one controversy or the other, and before a month, he had been removed officially from director Venkat Prabhu's Maanaadu. The political entertainer was announced before an year, and the actor had been delaying without joining shoot which made producer Suresh Kamatchi remove him.

Following this Simbu had announced a movie named Maghaa Manaadu to be directed by himself, and earlier he had also been shooting for a movie produced by Studio Green KE Gnanavel Raja. This movie which also starred Gautham karthik was directed by Narthan, and was the remake of Kannada hit Mufti.

Simbu had shot in the first schedule of the movie in Karnataka, and had later been evading shoot, and left abroad to enjoy vacation. He had returned recently from Thailand and has since not returned to shoot. The latest news making rounds is that this Mufti remake might be dropped, and Gnanavel raja has filed a complaint against Simbu in producers council, and an official announcement might be expected soon.
