Post Vinnai Thandi Varuvaya’s phenomenal success, Silambarasan has become the blue-eyed boy of many, including some social welfare organisations.
The actor, of late, has been getting requests from such service institutions to back them in their good deeds. And Simbu too has decided to support their cause and he will soon make an official announcement in this regard.
Meanwhile, while applying for the UK visa for the shoot of his forthcoming film Vaanam, Simbu was asked to write his name by expanding initials.
When he did so, one of the officials (who knows Tamil well) saw the actor’s full name Silambarasan Thesingu Rajendran, and suggested him he could henceforth change his name as STR, since it sounds like MGR and NTR.
The actor, who is aware that his achievements are so small when compared to that of the two great legends, is however happy with the new name and wants his fans and peers to call him that way in future.
