Santhanam: “If Jim Carrey can, why can’t I?”

Santhanam plays the lead in the upcoming movie, Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham directed by comedian Srinath. In a recent interview, the talented comedian said, “This script (Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham) came my way and it suited my image. I thought, if actors like Jerry Lewis and Jim Carey can do lead roles as comedians, why not give it a shot?”
 

Also, Santhanam denied the rumours that he will only play hero roles from here on. He said that he was open to any kind of roles, even ones that don’t call for comedy.
 

It is to be noted that Vallavanukku Pullum Aayudham is a remake of SS Rajamouli’s Telugu movie Maryada Ramanna.
