Simbu's next project Uththama Puthiran with Lingusamy

Director Lingusamy’s production house Tirupathi Brothers has roped in Silambarasan to play the lead role in a movie that is to be directed by Bhoopathy Pandian. While Silambarasan’s Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya is almost complete, he is busy with KV Anand’s Ko. The Bhoopathy Pandian project, which is said to have been titled Uththama Puthiran, will go on floors once Silambarasan completes his assignment with KV Anand. There are reports that the actor is working on an image makeover and is taking up films that are in that direction.

Meanwhile, Lingusamy’s Paiyaa will have his undivided attention. The producer-director will move on to Uththama Puthiran after Paiyaa’s release, we hear.
