Sivakarthikeyan's new movie 'Mr. Local' is all set to hit the screens on May 17th and he has been busy promoting the film costarring Nayanthara over the past few days. Director M. Rajesh's lucky mascot in the past has been Santhanam who was instrumental in his films like 'Siva Manasula Shakthi', 'Boss Engira Bhaskaran' and 'Oru Kal Oru Kannadi' becoming blockbuster hits.

Sivakarthikeyan has stated that in 'Mr. Local' director Rajesh has replaced Santhanam with three comedians Robo Shankar, Yogi Babu and Satheesh who play his manager, area friend and office friend respectively. Siva says that all three have given a variety comedy which would go well with the audience just as Santhanam in the other Rajesh movies.
