Tamil cinema’s leading comedian Karunas is currently playing the protagonist in two movies- 'Chandamama' and 'Ragalaipuram'. Shooting for the films, both comedy capers, are taking place on a fast track.

'Chandamama' is being directed by Radhakrishnan, who has also penned the story, screenplay and dialogues. Lyrics are by Vairamuthu, while music is by Srikanth Deva. Ananda Kuttan is wielding the camera.

"How an ordinary man called Santhanakrishnan makes it big as Chandamama with his writing skills is the crux of the story. It has been loaded with humour and family sentiments," says Radhakrishnan.

Shooting for the movie is currently on in Chennai and the crew will soon leave for an outdoor schedule. Swetha Basu is playing Karunas' heroine, with M S Baskar and Ilavarasu doing key roles.
