Simran as Suriya's mother


Simran is quite disturbed over the news on her role in Gautham Menon’s ‘Varanam Aayiram’. Recent reports in the media suggested that she had been booked to act as Suriya’s mother. It hurt the actress since Suriya and she debuted in the same film (‘Nerukku Ner’ by Vasanth) as a young pair.

The news however is not entirely wrong. Simran does act in ‘Varanam Aayiram’ and she does play the role of Suriya’s mother. But if you look at the fine print, you would understand what is actually happening. Simran plays as a pair of Suriya, in one of his get ups in the film. The fact that Simran plays an ‘old’ lady opposite the ‘old’ Suriya has triggered the news saying that Simran plays the role of an aged mother. While clarifying about her role in ‘Vaaranam Aayiram’ during a recent press conference, the versatile actor said that, “time hasn’t come yet for me to take up aged roles”.

She has proved this point beyond doubt by excellently portraying a young girl’s role in ‘Simran Thirai’ TV serial.
