Wishes have been pouring in from all quarters for Silambarasan on his 43rd birthday including directors, actors and friends from the industry. Among them was Oh My Kadavule and Dragon filmmaker Ashwath Marimuthu. Sharing his wishes for the actor, the director also shared an update regarding their much-delayed project STR 51.

Taking to his X handle, he wrote, "Happy birthday STR. This year is going to be magnificent for you sir." Ashwath further said that he is eagerly waiting to start their project after he completes shooting for Vetri Maaran's Arasan and asked his fans to wait a little as an "entertaining film" is in the works for fans to celebrate. Giving a small detail on his film, Ashwath revealed that STR 51's title would start with 'I'. His update has generated buzz among fans, who expressed their excitement, sharing their guesses for the title.

For the unversed, STR 51 was announced last year with a glimpse video that showed Silambarasan playing 'God of Love'. Since then, no other details of the film have been revealed. In September, he addressed many speculations surrounding the film.

The director dismissed rumours about Silambarasan's behaviour and clarified that he takes time to write his scripts. The director also said that he prioritises spending time with his family. Sharing key details about the genre, he elaborated, "The adrenaline rush that you witnessed in Dragon and the love that you felt in Oh My Kaduvule will be seen in this film. At the same time, the Simbu that you saw during his peak years in films like Kuthu, Dum and Manmadhan will be seen here in a movie that satisfies all audience." The upcoming film is backed by AGS Entertainment.

Currently, Silambarasan is busy shooting for Arasan, Vetri Maaran's upcoming film that belongs to the world of Vada Chennai. Besides Silambarasan, Arasan also stars Vijay Sethupathi along with Andrea Jeremiah, reprising her role as Chandra from Vada Chennai, and Yogalakshmi.
