Rajini sir is a genius and I’m his die-hard fan: Santhanam
Santhanam, who is maintaining a lowkey profile of late, will be seen in Rajiikanth – KS Ravikumar’s Lingaa and few other films which are ready to hit screens soon. The storyline of Lingaa is set in two different time periods and Santhanam comes in the post-independent portions of the film. “Rajini sir is a genius and I’m his die-hard fan. I’ve learnt so many life lessons from him. He’s so philosophical and spiritual, and that’s rubbing off on me. His experience, script choices… there’s so much to listen to and imbibe,” says Santhanam in an interview to a daily.
He is currently acting as a lead hero in the tentatively titled Dhilluku Duttu directed by his Lollu Sabha friends Murugan and Anand. “It’s a rom-com that is targeted at today’s social media-driven youth. It will speak about their mindset and try and set a new formula,” adds Santhanam. Ashna Zaveri who paired with Santhanam in Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham and Akila Kishore who impressed everyone with her performance in Parthiepan’s Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam play femaled leads in the film.
