Says Kannan, who had made a mark with ‘Jayamkondan’ and ‘Kanden Kadhalai’, “Vandhan Vendran is an action story with love as its backdrop. At the same time, there will be enough importance to comedy, thanks to Santhanam.”

On his liking for the comedian, who is there in all three movies of him, the director says, “he is a spontaneous actor who understands the script well. I like his style a lot. It is easy and fun to work with him.”

Happy about working with Jiiva for the first time, Kannan says, “He is one of the very few actors in Tamil cinema who is willing to go to any extent having immense belief on the director. So I preferred him for Vandhan Vendran.”
