Can we forget,” ennada vellaikkaran neeraviyil kappal vidaran, rail vidaran, neenga idliyum puttum pannreenge?” He used the role to kindle the spirit of scientific temper and dispel superstitions. Now, Satyaraj plays a similar role in Englishkaran. His role is a spoof on the current yuppie culture. His character is called Tamizharasu who speaks only English.
