STR, a die-hard fan of Ajith, is apparently going his favourite star's way. The 'Thala' usually maintains silence before the release of his movies, and will allow his flicks to do the talking.

Now Simbu is following the same as far as his Deepavali release 'Poda Podi' is concerned. The actor, we learn, has told circles close to him that he would not speak anything about the film before it hit the screens.

"STR is confident that Poda Podi will sure strike a chord with the audience. He will spill the beans only after the film's release," sources say.

Directed by debutant Vignesh Shiva, 'Poda Podi' will mark the acting debut of Varalakshmi Sarathkumar. Dharan has composed the music.
