At present he cannot ask for more out of his career. From the small screen Lollu to the big time Lollu with the biggest stars of Kollywood, the giant leap has happened quite soon. The first time he got noticed on the big screen was in Manmadhan, then in Vallavan, along came Rendu and he was raising quite a few laughs combining well with the comedy king Vadivelu.

Then came the big break, in a star movie. Kreedom; it was crucial for him to make a mark and he did not fail to do so. That was it we guess, opportunities have not started coming his way since. A good performance in a star movie got him another, Azhagiya Tamil Magan and now he has yet another biggie, with Vikram in Kanthaswamy.

Well, he is not far from cementing his position in Tamil cinema as one of the regulation comedians, inevitable to a movie. Now, Vadivelu and Vivek will have company at the top slot with one more contender for the lead comedians spot. It is one thing to do small comic capers and quite another to take full responsibility of a comedy track which can be crucial to any movie's box office performance. With good response for his comic acts in Ajith's latest Billa and a full fledged lead role in director Simbu Devan's Arai En 305 il Kadavul, Santhanam is not far off from graduating to that level.

Wishing the new Lollu specialist of Kollywood all the best.
