== Cast ==
* Aditi, Aakriti, Akshiti and Aapti 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.<ref name=Hindu>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/shooting-with-quadruplets/article6085415.ece|title=Shooting with quadruplets|date=5 June 2014|publisher=|via=The Hindu}}</ref>
* [[M. Raja]] as Raja, 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."<ref name=Hindu />
* [[Nithin Sathya]] as Kadhir, The Zoo Keeper
* [[Puravalan Narayanasamy|N.

: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 [[Puravalan Narayanasamy|Puravalan]] to meet actor [[Rajinikanth]] (both Maanu and Puralavan took care of Rajinikanth at Singapore when he was [[Rajinikanth#Hospitalisation and return (2011–present)|sick in 2011]]), and narrated the script to him.

== 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 [[Arignar Anna Zoological Park|Vandalur Zoo]] in [[Chennai]], making the crew of ''Enna Satham Indha Neram'' the first to shoot there. Some portions were also shot at [[Talakona|Thalakkonam falls]]. The crew thus entered the film in the [[Limca Book of Records]] under these credentials.<ref name="indiatimes1" /> Director [[M. Raja]] was signed to act as the father of the quadruplets, making his acting debut. He had shot for only six days.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-10-15/news-interviews/43065507_1_quadruplets-two-minds-four-girls |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131016094530/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-10-15/news-interviews/43065507_1_quadruplets-two-minds-four-girls |url-status=dead |archive-date=16 October 2013 |title=Director Jayam Raja turns actor|date= |work=[[The Times of India]] |accessdate=16 October 2013}}</ref> ''Enna Satham Intha Neram'' was also the [[Comeback (publicity)|comeback film]] for actress [[Maanu]], who was last seen in ''[[Kaadhal Mannan]]'' (1998).<ref name="indiatimes1" /> Other supporting actors include debutants [[Malavika Wales]] and Puralavan, followed by Iman Annachi, [[Manobala]], Shivashankar, [[Vaiyapuri]] and [[Lollu Sabha|Lollusabha]] Swaminathan.<ref name="behindwoods1" />

== Critical reception ==
M. Suganth of ''[[The Times of India]]'' rated it 1.5 out of 5 stars, saying "The only sensible beings in the film are the kids themselves, and they seem more than capable of taking care of themselves, despite their age and disabilities — when one of them falls in a pit, they rescue her all by themselves, intelligently signal their location with balloons, and even use the tab that they have to find their way out of the place. And, it is only for them that you even endure the film."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Enna-Satham-Intha-Neram/movie-review/37404679.cms|title=Enna Satham Intha Neram Movie Review, Trailer, & Show timings at Times of India|publisher=}}</ref> Udhav Naig of ''[[The Hindu]]'' said, "Despite the emotional set-up — four hearing- and speech-impaired children have lost their way inside the zoo with a giant snake — it's a bummer, from start to finish."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/cinema-reviews/enna-satham-intha-neram-itsss-boring/article6158096.ece|title=Enna Satham Intha Neram: It'sss boring|date=28 June 2014|publisher=|via=The Hindu}}</ref> ''Behindwoods'' said, "The filmmaking aspects of the movie are below par, with only the shots from the snake’s point of view standing out for being a little innovative. The VFX work on the snake is amateurish but it isn’t fair to expect much on this front, from ESIN, considering the budget constraints. But, animal lovers would get to see some lovely shots of the zoo." and rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars.<ref name="behindwoods review">{{cite web|url=http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/enna-satham-indha-neram/enna-satham-indha-neram-review.html|title=Enna Satham Indha Neram (aka) Enna Satham Intha Neram review|publisher=}}</ref>
