After the success of Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu, Simbu calls out body-shamers

Actor Simbu on Sunday called out those who criticise a person over his or her body.

“In this film especially, you couldn’t write anything about my body. I am telling to those critics who have body-shammed me. You can criticise a film but to criticise a person’s body is very wrong. I could take it in my stride but not many can. I put it as a request, please don’t hurt anybody personally,” Simbu said at a media event, which was held to express his gratitude over the success of his latest movie Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu.

Simbu had been the subject of vicious body-shaming after he went out of shape during a rough patch in his career. Many had written off Simbu’s career over his body weight. However, the actor went on a strict diet and a multidisciplinary workout regime to lose all the extra weight.
