The actor also has Dagaalty helmed by debutant
vijay Anand, an erstwhile associate of director Shankar, and co-starring Rittika Sen and
yogi Babu. Dagaalty's first look poster released recently featured
santhanam smoking, and this lead to widespread criticism for the hero endorsing smoking. The movie got released in Tamil and was a huge success. Now, the Telugu version is ready for a release.
After online backlash,
santhanam understood the mistake that has happened in the poster and said, "Dacalty first look poster was inadvertently uploaded. Have realized that it may promote smoking which is injurious to
health. Will ensure my future films will never carry such posters." The actor faced huge criticism earlier for his unreleased movie 'Server Sundaram' too where he paired with Vaibhav Shandilya.
