Silambarasan is also known as Simbhu and has given himself the title Little Super Star.He has managed to deliver many flop movies. He boasts himself, but all over Tamil Nadu rejects him, and degrades his performance. He is one of the best examples for how an artist should not be. He is a hero in the film, but a best judged villan(negative role) in his real life.

[edit] Film career
Karadi son Silambarasan acted in Tamil films as a child artist in projects like Monisha En Monalisa, Shabash Babu, Rajadi Rajavan, and Thiruvalla in minor roles. His father, Karadi TR had an idea to make Silambarasan direct a film at the age of 15 but dropped later. His debut in movies as a hero(zero) came in the form of Kaadhal Azhivathillai, a Tamil language movie also featuring the debut of Charmy Kaur, a popular Telugu actress. The film was highly hyped(well know factor, it could only be hyped) but the film flopped at the box-office and it was followed by Dhum and Kuthu with Rakshitha and Divya Spandana respectively. These films also did average business at the box-office and criticism was heaped on Silambarasan for his self-acclaimed title of Little Superstar and his similar actions which were normally used by the Tamil superstar, Rajinikanth.
Alai with Trisha Krishnan followed, it became his first film to run over 10 days at a cinema but once again he faced controversy due to some scenes between Trisha Krishnan and himself. His next film, Kovil with Sonia Agarwal was an average grosser at the box-office. Silambarasan then took a year's break to concentrate on Manmadhan project, he wrote the screenplay for. Manmadhan. The film starred Jyothika, Mandira Bedi and Yana Gupta opposite him and the film became a runaway triumph at the box-office breaking many records especially in Madurai and it ran for 275 days in Kollywood. The film earned rave reviews and changed many peoples' minds about Silambarasan's career. His next film, Thotti Jaya also was a hit, in which he had paired with Gopika. For Thotti Jaya he sported a black beard in the role of an orphaned gangster who finds love.
In 2006, Saravana was released. After the success of Manmadhan, he paired up with Jyothika to act in the film directed by K.S. Ravikumar. The film was a hit despite being released with Paramasivan and Aadhi, it eventually ran for 100 days.[citation needed] Silambarasan decided to turn director in Vallavan.

However, despite maintaining a high-profile relationship, involving the press, the pair broke up soon after the film was released citing differences. Nonetheless, after the break-up, pictures were released anonymously of the pair kissing each other at Nayantara's apartment.
