Chennai: Actor Karunas accepted Santhanam’s invitation to be his side-kick in his upcoming movie directed by Rambala and funded by Sri Thenandal Films.

It is already reported on how comedy actors or showing interest to do lead roles. Vadivelu, Goundamani recently did lead roles and faced failures with their respective projects. Now it is Santhanam’s turn to do the same.

Santhanam made his debut as lead actor with the movie ‘Vallavanuku Pullum Aayutham’ and he was last seen with in ‘Inimey Ippadi Thaan’. Ironically both the films got some very poor response from the fans. His last release however ended up as average.

Now even before knowing the pulse of audience, Santhanam has signed his next project under his friend Rambala direction. Rambala is the one who has directed Lollu Sabha earlier. The project will be funded by Sri Thenandal Films and sources say that shooting started recently.

Usually Tamil cinema will have a comedian as a side track along with the male lead. But for Santhanam no one came forward as he himself was a side-kick all these days. But Karunas has gladly accepted and he will be seen as Santhanam’s side-kick.
