As a surprise package, Santhanam is also a part of Cheran’s next directorial film, JK Enum Nanbanin Vaazhkai. Ask Cheran what made him go with Santhanam, the director says he had to adapt to the new trends in the industry. Cheran also indicates the same as the reason behind going for a fresh technical team for this project.

Talking about Santhanam, the director says the comedian is a grounded human being, who doesn’t take name and fame to his head. When Cheran wanted Santhanam on board for this project, the former had called him. Santhanam was taking a nap then and it was his mother who answered Cheran’s call.

Santhanam’s mother supposedly woke him up and informed him that it was ‘Thavamai Thavamirundhu’ Cheran and asked her son to take his offer immediately. “All thanks to Santhanam’s mother,” smiles Cheran.
