Will ‘Aayiram Vilakku’ glow bright?

Santhanu Bhagyaraj is all geared up for the release of ‘Aayiram Vilakku’, which he says a “totally different film”. Director Hosimin, after the Bharath-starrer ‘February 14’, is back with ‘Aayiram Vilakku’, a ‘Made in Madurai’ gangster tale!

With Sathyaraj and Sana Khan playing important roles, Santhanu says this will not be the usual Madurai movie. “Hosimin’s treatment is totally different and this will strike a chord with the audience,” he says.

The actor, who played a dull student in his last venture ‘Siddhu Plus Two’, says, “I am like that in my real life too. I am not a bright student. But always enjoyed life. That character reflected me a lot.”

Thanking his father, the veteran actor-director K Bhagyaraj, he says, “It was because of him I learnt the nuances of acting. I wish to emulate him doing lead roles with a touch of comedy.”

Santhanu waits for ‘Pongal’

Santhanu Bhagyaraj has finally confirmed that his forthcoming release ‘Siddhu Plus Two’, which is directed by his dad and veteran filmmaker K Bhagyaraj, will see the light of the day come Pongal.

“The delay was due to various reasons including the release of some big movies whenever Moser Baer (who have acquired the distribution rights) wanted to release Siddhu Plus Two,” the up and coming actor says.

“But the film will sure hit the screens on Pongal day,” the ‘Sakkarakatti’ hero says and adds: “I am hopeful that it will work big time with movie-buffs as it will be a typical Bhagyaraj film however adhering to latest trends.”

“Working with my dad is a pleasure. I learn many new things and he is a real task master on sets. One of the highlights of ‘Siddhu Plus Two’ will be the remix of “Naan Aalana Thamarai” from Idhu Namma Aalu,” Santhanu further says.
