South Indian Artistes Association president Nasser and general secretary Vishal have reacted to Simbu‘s decision to quit Nadigar Sangam.

Nasser has said they would not allow STR to quit the association. “Till now, we have not received any communication from him. We will invite him for talks and sort out issues,” he said.

On his part, Vishal has said Nadigar Sangam is not a recreational club for members to quit. “It is an organisation working for the welfare of artistes community.”

On Wednesday evening, Simbu said, "I have decided to move out of Nadigar Sangam due to various reasons. As an association who are supposed to help actors during crisis or problems, they have failed. I have not got any kind of support when I faced issues." He also lashed out at the way the recent Star Cricket was conducted.
