"SANTHANAM WOULDN'T HAVE EXISTED IF NOT FOR VIVEKH"- SIMBU

Speaking at the event, Simbu spoke about how Santhanam was introduced into Tamil Cinema. He said "Once, Vivekh sir was acting in a film as the hero. The producer was also making a movie where I was the hero. I wanted to introduce a comedian in the film. The producer wanted to go with Vivekh sir, since it was his peak. But, Vivekh convinced the producer to go with my choice and that is how Santhanam came into Kollywood. If not for him, we would have missed Santhanam in films."
