Popular comedian Karunaas is happy that his maiden venture as hero (Dindigul Sarathy) has opened well across the State.

Being distributed by Sun Pictures, the movie is inspired by a Malayalam blockbuster which was directed and enacted by Sreenivasan. It is about an average looking man who gets married to a beautiful young woman. What happens in his life after the wedding forms the crux of the story.

'Nam Naadu' Karthika plays the female lead. Says Karunaas, 'several prominent actresses were approached to do the female lead. It would be wrong on my part to name them but then they have failed to understand that the script and story are the real heroes in a film. If it is good, they can be part of a hit film'.
