In just 20 days, director Kannan has completed shooting 40 per cent of his upcoming film 'Settai', which is a remake of Hindi hit 'Delhi Belly'. The Tamil version has Arya, Hansika Motwani, Anjali and Santhanam in lead roles.

"I must thank my producers UTV Motion Pictures, Arya and other members of the cast and crew. Only due to their interest and co-operation, I am able to achieve this," says the director of 'Jayamkondan' and 'Kanden Kadhalai'.

Kannan says the project became possible only because of Santhanam, an inevitable part of all his films, including his last venture 'Vandhaan Vendraan'. "He was mainly responsible in putting things in place," says the filmmaker.

On Arya, he says, "Arya would never go to the caravan after completing his shot. He would sit with us and discuss on the next scene. Similarly, the co-operation from Hansika and Anjali too is memorable."
