The female lead in Santhanam’s horror comedy Dhillukku Dhuddu 2, a sequel to his earlier hit, is finally out. Directed by Rambhala, who wielded the megaphone for the first part, Shirtha Sivadas from God’s own country will be seen as the lead girl.
Talking about roping in Shritha Rambhala, he says, “Unlike the stereotypical means of importing heroines from Kerala, the script demanded a Malayalam speaking girl. Apart from horror and humour blended, there will be a serious premise as the backdrops, which is completely based on a female character. We found a perfect match in Shirtha.”
He adds, “There’s a misconception that second part of any film of successful franchise can easily draw crowds to theatres. It is not so. It is a huge responsibility and we have to put double the efforts to pull it off.”
A host of comedians including Motta Rajendran, Urvashi, Bipin of Jil Jung Juk fame, Ramar and Dhanashekar of Kalakapovathu Yaaru fame, standup comedian Ayyapa Baiju are in the cast.
