The press conference of the team of Santhanam’s upcoming film ‘Devil’s Double Next Level’, which is being produced by Niharika Entertainment under the banner The Show People and will be released in theaters worldwide on the 16th, was held in Chennai.
Directed by S. Prem Anand, who directed the film ‘D.D. Returns’, ‘Devil’s Double Next Level’ has a large cast including Santhanam, Geethika Tiwari, Selvaraghavan, Gautham Vasudev Menon, Nizhalgal Ravi, Mottai Rajendran, Maran, Kasthuri, Redin Kingsley, Yashika Anand.
Deepak Kumar Pathe has handled the cinematography and Afro has composed the music for this film. Bharat Vikraman has handled the editing work and A.R. Mohan has taken care of the art direction. The film, which is being prepared as a comedy horror entertainer, will be released in theaters on the 16th.
The film’s protagonist Santhanam, actor Arya, who is releasing the film, and director Prem Anand participated in the lively press conference held to share information about ‘Devil’s Double Next Level’.
Director Prem Anand said, “Santhanam and Arya are the epitome of the saying, ‘Friendship on the face is friendship on the heart, and friendship on the inside is friendship on the inside.’ That friendship has given me such a big opportunity. When I started this huge film, I told Santhanam, ‘Boss, I will definitely work hard and make this film a success and I will give you and Arya sir a statue.'”
After that, the shooting of the film went well, with big locations and cruises. Later, when all the work including post-production was completed and the question arose as to when the film would be fully ready, Santhanam called me and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t give us a statue, it won’t hurt our friendship, just finish the film as soon as possible.” Arya sir, the film is now fully ready for release.
The film features two senior directors, Gautham Vasudev Menon Sir and Selvaraghavan sir acted and collaborated well. Thank you very much to them. Thank you to everyone including Kasthuri Madam, Nizhalgal Ravi sir. Thank you to the technical team as well.
This is not an average horror film. There is a fantasy world inside it. Its post-production work was very challenging. Thank you very much to everyone who collaborated day and night for this. The film has come out very well. It will be released in theaters on May 16. The main reason why my last film ‘DD Returns’ became a big success is the support you gave as journalists. I request you to give the same support to this film too. This will be a summer treat for everyone. What we call the film Devil’s Double Next Level can be called the Next Level of Vada Santhanam. All the fans should go to the theaters with their families and enjoy watching the film. Thank you, greetings,” he said. Actor Arya said, “I am very happy to meet you all again. I really like the film ‘DD Returns’. It has a good story, reasoning for it, a play, a game. Prem has made it very interesting and executed the comedy very beautifully. Similarly, when Prem came to me and told me the concept of ‘Devil’s Double Next Level’, it was very interesting. The characters are transported within a film.
After Prem finished telling me the story, I said, “It would be great if you make this film with a good budget, just like you told me.” I was curious about how he was going to make the film. As soon as the film was finished, I watched it, enjoyed it, and was happy. I hope everyone can experience it 100%.
This film could not have been made without Santhanam’s cooperation, I thank him. Santhanam and Prem have made this film very well together. This has been going on for almost a year. They have fully invested in the film. Kudos to the entire team.
‘Devil’s Double Next Level’ will provide great entertainment to all the fans. I hope that we will continue with the next part of this film. I am very happy to present the film. Everyone please support me, thank you,” he said.
The hero of the film, Santhanam, said, “This film will be very special. Arya and I will always be in touch. One day, while talking to him, he asked, “When you were a comedian, you were fun, but now you are not that fun, why?” To that, I told him about the challenges of being a hero and some other problems. Then he said, “You should completely immerse yourself in the film ‘Devil’s Double Next Level’ and work. Show your total creativity. “I will take care of all your problems,” he said.
That’s how we started and finished this film. I am sure that everything will satisfy you with a good story, screenplay, comedy, acting. Go and watch it with your family in the theaters on May 16.
I would call director Prem Anand the Christopher Nolan of the Tamil film world. Because the stories that Anand makes are never in one line. They have many layers. He would have combined difficult things so easily and interestingly. We don’t understand how he does that. That is Prem Anand.
He has made this film wonderfully like that. The output was very good, and this film will be a great comedy treat for the fans. You will all enjoy it completely. Watch ‘Devil’s Double Next Level’ in theaters with your family and friends. Thank you, greetings,” he said.
