Simbu a.k.a. STR is going guns at the moment. What with a recent hit (Vaanam) under his belt, the singer also seems to be taking his singing career seriously. Simbu has belted out a number for songs in his films as well as other movies.

'Mambattiyan-2' is getting readied with Prashanth playing the lead. The film is the remake of 'Mambattiyan' that released in 1983. Illayaraja had composed the music for the original version which released a couple of decades back. The upcoming version has been set to tune by Thaman. A song which goes like "Kattuvaliye pora ponnu..." has been crooned by Thiyagarajan. Thaman has decided to go in for a hip-hop version to suit the trend today. This hip-hop version has been crooned by Simbu.

Thaman is confident that the music of this album will do well, especially the peppy numbers which will attract the young crowd. The lyrics for all the songs have been penned by National award winning lyricist Vairamuthu.

The filming portions are over and the post-production is going on in full swing. We will let you know soon as to when Mambattiyan-2 will hit theatres.
