In the meantime, Sona was admitted to the hospital for here now severed heart related complications, following the incident. She felt very depressed after the incident that she aggravated her illness. SP Balasubramaniam paid a visit to the hospital and enquired about her health.

Shruti who is also a versatile singer, who had a band of her own, has sung in Unnaipol Oruvan for which she has even composed music for, Varanam Aayiram and now she is all set to sing for Simbu's Osthi.

A Source informs, “Shruti is keen on singing for films and they think she would be a perfect fit for this. Plus, the song requires a slightly different kind of voice and it went on be a superhit in Hindi.”

We also hear that Simbu has shot for a song sequence titled Damaal Doomeel, which was recently shot at a police station.
