Santhanam is having an untitled horror comedy in its way while his next will be a full dose comedy with him playing the role of chef. So it has been given the suitable title as Server Sundaram and the team has got the official rights from AVM Productions too. 

It was AVM who produced Nagesh’s yesteryear comedy film Server Sundaram in 1964, almost 52 years ago. This title seems to have suited with the concept of the story, shares the director. But we are not sure whether it is the remake of the same film or a fresh script.

To be directed by a debutant Anand Balki, the shooting will kickstart from Pongal day. Anand Balki had worked as an assistant with director Mani Ratnam. Santhosh Narayanan will compose music and will be bankrolled by Kenanya Films.
