Chennai, April 30 (NationPress) It’s confirmed! The producers of director Ramkumar Balakrishnan’s highly anticipated movie featuring actor Silambarasan have officially announced that actor Santhanam will be part of the project.
It’s worth noting that IANS reported two weeks ago that Santhanam was set to join Simbu's film with Ramkumar, and he has agreed to the proposal.
Dawn Pictures, the film's production house, shared the news on their X account, stating, "#STR49 is reaching new heights. The most awaited reunion is finally here. Welcome aboard, @iamsanthanam!"
Santhanam initially gained fame as a comedian in Tamil cinema before transitioning into a leading role. After stepping into the spotlight as a hero, he ceased to take on comedic roles in other actors' films.
However, it seems Santhanam is making an exception for actor Simbu, with whom he has a strong friendship. The two are known to be very close, with Santhanam frequently acknowledging Simbu’s influence on his career growth.
Ramkumar Balakrishnan, renowned for his blockbuster film ‘Parking’, is directing STR49, which is being produced by Dawn Pictures.
The film, currently referred to as #STR49, recently garnered attention when the producers announced Sai Abhyankar as the music director and actress Kayadu Lohar as the lead opposite Simbu.
So far, the team has released a poster featuring Simbu with his hands clasped behind his back. He holds a textbook titled Engineering Materials and Metallurgy, inside which a blood-stained knife is concealed. The poster carries the intriguing caption ‘The Most Wanted Student’.
