Enna Satham Indha Neram (English: What is the noise at this time?) is an upcoming Tamil film directed by Guru Ramesh and produced by A. V. Anoop. The film features quadruplets Adhiti, Aakrithi, Akshathy and Aapthi in the lead roles, with Nithin Sathya, M. Raja, Maanu and Malavika Wales also appearing in prominent roles. The film tells the story of quadruplets who lose their way inside a zoo where they came for an excursion. The zoo keeper (Nithin) rescues them after one whole day's effort. Enna Satham Indha Neram entered the Limca Book of Records for being the "first ever film in the world arena, to cast quadruplets - four children born of the same pregnancy - in the same plot."

Cast

• Adhiti, Aakrithi, Akshathy and Aapthi as the Quadruplets

Guru Ramesh considered his decision to include quadruplets in his script as "unrealistic". After he "started writing to friends and several groups where twins and triplets socialise on Facebook", he came to know of the quadruplets through a friend. The parents of the twins were initially sceptical towards their casting, but after Guru Ramesh narrated the script to them, they agreed.

• Nithin Sathya as the zoo keeper

• Malavika Wales as a teacher for deaf and mute students.

To prepare for her role, she had to attend a workshop for learning sign languages. Her teacher was the same person who taught Jyothika sign language for Mozhi (2007).

• M. Raja as the father of the Quadruplets

On Raja's casting, Guru Ramesh said, "Despite being a celebrity director, he didn’t complain when I told him that he was not a full-fledged protagonist. He was fine with it. In fact, I would say there is no one protagonist in the film."

• Maanu as the mother of the Quadruplets.

After Guru Ramesh narrated the script to her, she told him that she was not interested in acting in the film. He later took her and Singapore-based theatre actor Puralavan to meet actor Rajinikanth (both Maanu and Puralavan took care of Rajinikanth at Singapore when he was sick in 2011), and narrated the script to him. On Rajinikanth's suggestion, Maanu finally accepted to act in the film, although his only concern was whether she should play "a mother of four seven-year-olds", which was not an issue for Maanu.

• Puralavan

• Imman Annachi

• Manobala

• Vaiyapuri

Production

Enna Satham Indha Neram is the first film in Tamil cinema to feature quadruplets prominently. 95% of the film was shot at the Zoological Park in Hyderabad, making it the first film to be shot predominantly inside a zoological park. The film was also shot at Vandalur Zoo in Chennai, making the crew of Enna Satham Indha Neram the first to shoot there. Some portions were also shot at Thalakkonam falls. The crew thus entered the film in the Limca Book of Records under these credentials. Director M. Raja was signed to act as the father of the quadruplets, making his acting debut. He had shot for only six days in Chennai. Enna Satham Intha Neram will also be the comeback film for actress Maanu, who was last seen in Kaadhal Mannan (1998). Other supporting actors include debutants Malavika Wales and Puralavan, followed by Iman Annachi, Manobala, Shivashankar, Vaiyapuri and Lollusabha Swaminathan.
