Kollywood actor Simbhu’s mother Usha T Rajender virtually broke down with the media and police harassment of her family.

She asks “After all what did my son do? He wrote a song and recorded it privately in which some vulgar words are present which were muted with a ‘beep’ sound. He came to industry as a child artists and grown up to his present stage with the blessings of people of the state. But, just for one small mistake, police and media are hunting him as if he is a most wanted criminal. I am terribly shocked to hear some people demanding to hang him by neck. If they are so angry with him, let them hang me first as I am his mother.”

She further said “I am aware that some of his co-stars are creating all these troubles for him merely to eliminate from film industry as they couldn’t withstand competition from my son Simbhu. They should try to prove their mettle instead of playing these dirty games.”

“We are unable to bear this media and police harassment. They made us virtually cry and making us to think to leave this state forever. Is it necessary to harass a family so much? I can’t understand whom to ask for help. My son Simbhu is not absconding from police. If, they want him let me know. I will make him surrender before them. If he committed any mistake let our legal system take a decision but not the media or some individuals. If the harassment continues any further we have to leave the state,” said Simbhu’s mother Usha.

Simbhu and music director Anirudh Ravichander both went underground after cases were filed against them by the police following complaints from All India Democratic Women's Association and some individuals. They complain that the song sung by Simbhu was obscene and depicted women in a very bad taste. A case was registered and summons issued asking them to appear before the Race Course police station in Coimbatore on December 19. However, fearing arrest they both went underground and filed a petition in Madras High Court seeking stay on their arrest. But, Justice R. Subbaiah refused to grant stay and adjourned the case to January 5th.
