“Yuvan Shankar Raja is the reason for our friendship” – Shiva & Premgi
Shiva & Premgi Amaren engage in lively banter on the SUN NXT show ‘Jolly-O-Gymkhana’
Mirchi Shiva and Premgi recently appeared in a new episode of ‘Jolly-O-Gymkhana,’ a show currently streaming on the digital platform SUN NXT that has been captivating audiences. True to their signature “Jalsa Pannungada” (Let’s Party!) style, the duo engaged in spirited banter and lighthearted teasing throughout the episode. Their presence amplified the festive atmosphere of the show manifold.
However, what truly surprised the fans during the episode was the noticeable transformation in Premgi. Prior to his marriage, it was his routine to whisk his co-stars away to parties immediately after filming wrapped up, giving them no chance to head home. Yet, speaking on the show about his life post-marriage—emphasizing that family now takes precedence and that everyone should return home once their work is done—he left both the live audience and the viewers at home astonished. To put it succinctly, the very voice that once chanted, “Machi, open the bottle!” has now evolved to say, “Mami, open the pickle jar!” This clearly demonstrates that a significant change has indeed taken place in Premgi.
When asked about the backstory behind their close friendship, both Shiva and Premgi responded in unison: “Yuvan Shankar Raja is the sole reason for our close bond. Furthermore, whenever we are at his studio, it is Yuvan who keeps the entire place buzzing with energy and ensures that everyone is in high spirits. We have both witnessed firsthand a side of Yuvan—a side that remains unknown to the rest of the world.” Indeed, it would be no exaggeration to say that the anecdotes and insights these two shared regarding the musical genius Yuvan Shankar Raja are moments that every single one of his fans simply must watch, savor, and celebrate. As the highlight of the event, Premgi astonished everyone by performing a Karakattam dance. These moments—in which Premgi proved that he is not merely a musical talent but also a “whirlwind on the dance floor”—brought immense joy to the fans.
Just as Premgi surprised everyone with his Karakattam performance, Shiva, too, thrilled the fans by making an announcement regarding his upcoming film. He revealed that the sequel to Tamizh Padam—the movie that became a massive hit and earned him the title “Aghila Ulaga Superstar” (Universal Superstar)—is currently in production, with work proceeding in full swing.
Following this, Shiva enthusiastically shared several fascinating anecdotes from the sets—recounting his experience of sharing screen space with Superstar Rajinikanth and the time he danced alongside Bollywood actor Aamir Khan. If you wish to learn more about the details he shared regarding his films, you simply must watch this episode of Jolly O Gymkhana.

In the last episode, actor Harish Kalyan opened up candidly about the actress he would love to star alongside. Furthermore, he showcased his diverse talents by singing rap songs and demonstrating his prowess in Silambam. Not only that, but Harish Kalyan also managed to both stump and surprise the show’s host, Jagan, with his witty repartee.
