But Santhanam's mother stands different. Wondering why? She fears that her son might end up being a loser and eventually running short of offers.

According to Santhanam, his mother is worried that her son might not get offers if his Vallavanuku Pullum Aayudham fails at Box Office. As a hero, he might get one film in a year. Whereas, he acts in dozens of films as a comedian.

"My mother is worried that I may not get films if this film bombs at the Box Office. All these years she never got worried because she knew that as a comedian, I'll always have a few films in hand and keep myself busy. But she feels as a hero I may get only one film a year," Santhanam told IANS.
