Finnish YouTube stars Niko Meuronen and Santeri Hänninen, known for their joint channel NikojaSanttu, have revealed their long-kept-secret project: the movie *Cancel*, which they produced. The film was announced on March 8, 2025, during the first intermission of the YouTube All-Stars hockey game.
The film’s secrecy and exciting reveal
The film’s unveiling was a project that had been kept secret for many years. Niko and Santtu had carefully kept the film under wraps for as long as three years, and they chose to unveil it during the YouTube Alsstars hockey game at Nokia Arena. A short video had been released before the game hinting that the movie was a big surprise, but more details weren’t revealed until the intermission.
The film stars Niko and Santtu in the lead roles, but they aren’t the only actors. The film also features other well-known faces and highlights how the pressures of social media and public scrutiny can affect both influencers and ordinary people. Although the film’s exact plot remains under wraps, its message touches on current topics such as cancel culture and the lives of social media influencers.
Partners and Production Background
The film is produced by Solar Films, one of Finland’s largest and best-known film production companies. Solar Films has been involved in producing several successful films and brings valuable expertise to the project. Niko Meuronen, Santeri Hänninen, and Henry Weckström (Weksi)—who are also known for their videos—are responsible for the film’s screenplay and production. Filming began in March 2025, and production is moving along at a brisk pace.
Although Niko and Santtu play the lead roles, the other characters are also important to the story, and the film features several Finnish actors and YouTube stars who bring their own unique qualities to the film’s world.
The film’s themes: Cancel culture and the world of social media influencers

Although the film’s exact content and plot are still being kept under wraps, it has garnered a lot of attention and is eagerly anticipated.
