Blockbuster Tamil filmmaker AR Murugadoss has produced films like Engaeyum Eppothum, Raja Rani, Maan Karate, 10 Endrathukulla, Rangoon to name a notable few, and is set to present his next, August 16, 1947, which has been directed by his former associate NS Ponkumar. The upcoming period action drama film scheduled to release on April 7 had its audio launch at Sathyam Cinemas on Monday evening, which witnessed several big names grace the occasion, including Sivakarthikeyan. During his speech at the August 16, 1947 audio launch, Murugadoss turned emotional at a moment while describing the sets of the film, and how he was reminded of the late art director T. Santhanam with whom he collaborated in 'Thalapathy' Vijay's Sarkar (2018) and Darbar with 'Superstar' Rajinikanth (2020). 

During his speech , AR Murugadoss turned emotional while speaking about the sets created for August 16, 1947 and T. Santhanam's hard work. He said, "The only big factor missing is art director Santhanam, who left us all. His loss is something I'm able to come to terms with. We worked in Sarkar and Darbar. He worked on this film for me for less salary since it's a small budget venture. He created an entire village in an abandoned land on the outskirts and he sent a photograph of the sets. When I saw the picture, I told him that all the huts look similar and should appear different. One hut must look like it was created two years back, another one 5 years back and so on. I then took a car the next day and went to the sets. As soon as I arrived, I was stunned at how he changed everything in those 24 hours. You are witness to that transformation that you just watched in some of the visuals. He did a fantastic job and told me to send this to all the award ceremonies. His family has come here today. He could have been here with us for his children."

After working under Selvaraghavan's direction in Aayirathil Oruvan, which starred Karthi, Reema Sen, and Andrea Jeremiah in the lead roles, and featured chart-buster music by G. V. Prakash Kumar, T. Santhanam's next big film was Deiva Thirumagal featuring 'Chiyaan' Vikram, Sara Arjun, Anushka Shetty, and Amala Paul, and was helmed by A. L. Vijay in 2011. The film turned out to be a massive critical and commercial success, with the entire technical team garnering praise, including Santhanam's work in the art direction department.

The Arya-Santhanam duo has been a beloved on-screen combo and delighted audiences last in 2015's Vasuvum Saravananum Onna Padichavanga, while also sharing screen space in films like Oru Kalluriyin Kathai, Chikku Bukku, Boss Engira Bhaskaran, Settai, and Raja Rani. Among the films, they have starred in together, 2010's Boss Engira Bhaskaran, directed by M. Rajesh and also starring Nayanthara, went on to become a massive box office success and continues to be remembered for its comedy and the on-screen camaraderie between the two stars. That being said, Arya, who will next be seen in the much-awaited sci-fi action thriller Captain releasing in theatres on September 8, met the press along with the film's other cast and crew members, with Santhanam as a guest of honor, who spoke about his interest in doing a sequel to Boss Engira Bhaskaran.

Speaking at the Captain press meet, Santhanam said, "Ever since I started taking up hero roles, I have been offered double-hero subjects, and many have called me to do guest roles too. I haven't done any such roles. I'm walking on a track of my own. But, I often say one thing to Arya - if you ever do Boss Engira Baskaran 2, I will come and act alongside you. I say this because that's the friendship we share and he's a true friend. Even when I was a comedian, Arya would encourage me to take up exercising, cycling, swimming, and so on. No matter what you do, you must be like a hero, he’d be telling me." 

Santhanam, who was recently seen in Gulu Gulu, further added, "In Boss Engira Baskaran, he gave me a full-length screen space and my love and encouragement for anything he does will always be there. I request everyone to go watch his new film in theatres as Arya is involved as a producer and is a story about aliens. I used to tell him when we were doing Boss Engira Baskaran that the amount of exercise he does and the physique he has built should be utilized well and that he should appear like Arnold (Schwarzenegger) with a gun and shoot, but instead, you're doing comedy with me here in Kumbakonam. My wishes to the entire team of Captain as they've not done a film about the military and the army going after terrorists, but instead tackling aliens, which is a new concept." 

Being distributed by Udhayanidhi Stalin's Red Giant Movies banner, Captain directed by Shakti Soundar Rajan of Miruthan and Tik Tik Tik fame is the second time the filmmaker has collaborated with Arya after last year's Teddy and also stars Aishwarya Lekshmi as the female lead, followed by Simran, Kavya Shetty, Thyagarajan, Harish Uthaman, Gokul, and Bharath Raj in supporting roles, and features music by D. Imman. The film is produced by Arya's The Show People in association with Think Studios and is a -sci-fi action adventure revolving around humans encountering creatures of a new species.
