After back to back failures with Sikandar and Madharaasi, director AR Murugadoss has not officially announced his next project. Sources earlier suggested a film with a monkey as the lead. That project is said to be preparing to go on floors soon.
Amid this, a new speculation has gone viral on social media. Reports claim AR Murugadoss is planning a commercial film with Simbu. The shoot is reportedly expected to begin by June, though there is no official confirmation yet.
AR Murugadoss returned to direction with the Bollywood film Sikandar after a long gap. The film ended up as a major disaster. He then directed Madharaasi starring Sivakarthikeyan, which received average audience feedback but failed at the box office.
Due to these setbacks, AR Murugadoss is currently seen as being in poor form. Simbu fans have expressed disappointment over the collaboration buzz. Many are urging the actor to reconsider working with the director at this stage.
Simbu himself is going through a challenging phase in his career. None of his recent films have turned into clear successes. He is actively seeking a strong comeback in the industry.
However, his upcoming projects have raised some hope among fans. Arasan and the tentatively titled STR 51, directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, are viewed as promising ventures. Supporters believe these films can help him regain momentum.
Fans feel that a single success can put Simbu back on track. They believe he should maintain that momentum by choosing reliable directors. Many feel collaborating with AR Murugadoss now carries unnecessary risk.
As of now, there is no official update from either side. It remains unclear whether Simbu and AR Murugadoss will actually collaborate. The future of the speculated project is still uncertain.
