The theatrical release of "DD Next Level," a horror-comedy film starring Santhanam, set for May 16, 2025, in Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu, marking the fourth installment in the popular Dhilluku Dhuddu (DD) franchise known for its commercial success in Tamil cinema. Directed by S. Prem Anand, who previously helmed "DD Returns" (2023) with a 6.2 IMDb rating, this film continues the franchise's trend of unrelated horror stories, building on Santhanam's established comedic style of "giving counters" or mocking characters, a technique that has historically boosted his market popularity.
