After Jigarthanda, Simhaa plays a gangster once again

After winning the National Award for his gangster role in Jigarthanda, Bobby Simhaa has now made the transition to hero roles. While he is playing the lead roles in half-a-dozen films, the actor will be seen playing a negative character in an upcoming film titled Metro. The film is directed by Anand Krishna, who earlier remade the Bollywood film Aamir in Tamil as Aal. Newcomer Sirish plays the lead role in the film, which also has Sendrayan in a crucial role. Says the director, “I narrated the character to Bobby Simhaa earlier this year. Even though he was signing up hero roles by then, he liked my story very much and agreed to play a character with negative shades. We shot with him this April and May and his character will be seen throughout the second half of the film.”

He adds, “The film is about how gold plays a vital role in a country’s economy and will shine a light on the entire ecosystem of the gold market, which involves a lot of dirty secrets. Simhaa plays Guna, a gangster who does business with the underworld, who finds innovative ways to commit crimes in the gold market. His punchline ‘Panam irukkaravan kitta dhaan ulagam adimaya irukkum. Nee adimaya irukka poriya illa adimaya aaka poriya’ (The world is a slave before a man who has money. Do you want to live as a slave or make others a slave?) defines his character, and we have used it in the film’s trailer as well.” The trailer is expected to be released this month. Anand says that Kollywood personalities like Gautham Vasudev Menon, Simbu and Jayam Ravi have appreciated his work after seeing the trailer.
