Simbu desperate to please A R Rahman

Nowadays actor Simbu has been seen spending a lot of time at Oscar winner A R Rahman"s studio. The buzz is that he hopes to get a chance to sing a song or two in his upcoming Gautham Menon's Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaayaa. The highlight of the film will be, of course, the music by Rahman.

This will be Rahman's first film with Gautham to hit the stands after the director"s split with Harris Jayaraj.

Starring Simbu and Trisha in lead roles, the director has completed the first schedule in Chennai and will soon move to Kerala for some exotic outdoor locations. After this, the director will start shooting for the film in his favourite location — New York!

Work on Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya will most likely finish by May and will release in July. Though the film had started out as a low-budget quickie, it is bound to become bigger as time progresses.
