Just a few days back Dhanush had created headlines saying that Silambarasan and he were indeed friends.

Dhanush’s speech at the audio launch of Pori had been the talk of the industry as he and Simbu were seen as rivals.

Now Dhanush’s words are finding a good echo in Simbu’s.

After his return from a hectic trip abroad, Simbu has reaffirmed Dhanush’s opinions.

Saying that he had always been friendly with Dhanush, Simbu however said that rivalry in career was always bound to be there.

Stating that he was happy for Dhanush’s success in Thriuvilaiyadal Arambam, Simbu revealed that he had spoken to Dhanush after his return from abroad. “I congratulated on him becoming a father. I intended visiting his house in a couple of days to see his son Yatra,” he said.

Simbu also said that he was not averse to acting with Dhanush if the story is right.
