Simbu one of the most popular multtalented heroes in Tamil cinema after a long hiatus made a strong comeback with 'Maanaadu'. The SciFi thriller directed by Venkat Prabhu was a huge critical and commercial success when released in 2021. Simbu followed it up with critically acclaimed performances in 'Vendhu Thanindhadhu Kaadu' and 'Pathu Thala' that were released in 2022.
