Dagaalty Movie Stills Starring N Santhanam
The action-comedy has been shot at various locations like Chennai, Tirukazhukundram, Tiruchendur, Kadappa, Mumbai, and even at the Jaipur Palace where actor Rajinikanth starrer Darbar was recently filmed.

Server Sundaram, on the other hand, is a comedy-drama directed by debutant Anand Balki. The producer, Selvakumar J of Kenanya Films has bought the title from AVM.
Speaking about the film, Balki earlier told Silverscreen, “Santhanam has been labelled as a comedian-turned-hero. After the release of this film, this perception will change as he has transformed into a complete commercial hero in this film. Except for the title, the film has no connection with the 1964 film, Server Sundaram, in which Nagesh played the role of a chef. As I am an ardent fan of Nagesh, I chose this title for my first film. Also, it is perfect because Santhanam plays an aspiring chef in the film.”
