Last year's 'Inimey Ippadithan' launched Santhanam as a hero material though that was not his first film as a hero. The title of the film was in a way an announcement of what Santhanam is going to do hereafter- The top comedian will be focusing more on films which have him as lead hero.

That has brought us 'Dhilluku Dhuttu' which has been produced by Sri Thenandal Films, one of the most experienced and reputed production banners in Kollywood. This will also mark the Kollywood debut of  Ram Bala who directed the popular Television spoof show 'Lollu Sabha' which is the starting point of Santhanam's acting career.

'Dhilluku Dhuttu' was earlier touted to be a horror-comedy the most sought after genre of Kollywood today. But after watching the teaser and trailer of the film it looks like this will be a spoof on Horror films. We will have to wait for a few more days to know whether this assumption is true. But it is evident from the trailer that the film will have a lot of laugh moments with Santhanam trolling the ghosts and all characters and objects related to ghosts.

The film stars Santhanam and newcomer Shanaya in lead roles. Veteran Bollywood actor Saurabh Shukla has played an important character in the film. The supporting cast includes Karunas, Anandraj. Singamuthu, Lolly Sabha Manohar and of course the regular cast member of comedy films 'Naan Kadavul' Rajendran.

S.Thaman has done the musical score while Deepak Kumar Pathy has taken care of cinematography. Gopi Krishna has handled the Editing.

Amid huge expectation- on Santhanam, this being his first film with the creator of the hilarious Lollu Sabha episodes and the horror-comedy genre- 'Dhilluku Dhuttu' will be hitting the screens on July 7, 2016.
