Sathyan has become a household name, thanks to the impact of his role in 'Nanban'. The hero-turned-comedian, who impressed everyone as 'sincere student' Srivathsan in the Shankar-directed Vijay starrer, is sharing the screen space with the Ilayathalapathy again!

"I play an important role in Thupaki. It is a delight to work with Vijay again. My thanks to director AR Murugadoss and the Ilayathalapathy," says the actor, who earlier played Vijay's friend 'Vettaikaran'.

"Though I am playing Vijay's friend in Thupaki once again, the role is totally different from the ones I did in the past. And I signed this film much before Nanban hit the screens," says Sathyan, who is a close relative to Sathyaraj.

"In fact, when I was shooting for Nanban, the associate producers of Thupaki watched me performing on the sets and recommended my name to Murugadoss. The director paid heed to their suggestion and roped me in," he added.
