Santhanam, who started off as a comedian having made his debut in STR’s Manmadhan, has now ventured towards acting as the lead in films, taking up roles that are less comic and more heroic.

The film is directed by Sethuraman and is produced by VTV Ganesh. The film’s lead heroine is Vaibhavi Shandilya, and also stars Vivek, Narayan Lucky, Robo Sankar, Sampath Raja, and several others. Music is composed by actor STR, who gave a very dramatic speech at the audio launch of the film early this month.

The film’s box office collections are not out yet, but several actors from the film attest that there’s a lot of word-of-mouth prompting cinema-goers to go for the film.
