Actor Dileep’s new film My Santa is reaching theaters on Christmas day. In the film directed by Sugeeth, seven-year-old Manasi will play a significant role alongside Dileep.

The audio launch of the film was held the other day. What Dileep said about Manasi is going viral on social media.

“When Manasi came for shooting, she used to call me uncle. I told her don’t call me like that........ call me ‘chetta’ (brother) because actresses like Keerthy Suresh and Sanusha who had called me ‘chetta’ later appeared as my heroines,” Dileep said, evoking laughter among the audience.

Dileep continued saying that Manasi had also acted with Rajnikanth in the film Darbar. “But I was really shocked to learn what Manasi calls Rajini sir. She calls her Rajini chetta. I’m seeing for the first time a person who calls him like that," Dileep said, adding that “Manasi’s wish is to act as Rejini chettan’s heroine”.
