A poker-faced Santhanam clad in a yellow sherwani has locked the heads of two others in his arms, they are a spectacled Santhanam donning a brown uniform and a bowl-cut Santhanam in a jogging suit. The three seem to be at an old but well-lit factory.

The film helmed by debutant Karthik Yogi will see Santhanam playing three different roles for the first time. Dikkiloona is being jointly bankrolled by Kotapadi J Rajesh’s KJR Studios and KS Sinish’s Soldiers Factory.
The film’s title, Dikkiloona, is inspired by the famous game comedian Senthil plays in director Shankar‘s action-drama Gentleman (1993).
While cricketer Harbhajan Singh plays the antagonist, Natpe Thunai fame Anagha and Nenjamundu Nermaiyundu Odu Raja fame Shirin Kanchwala play the female leads in the film.
