Adanga Maru director Karthik Thangavel's next with Prince Pictures 

Director Karthik Thangavel, who has been riding high on the success of his Adanga Maru, starring Jayam Ravi, is back in the news. The filmmaker will be doing his next film for producer S Lakshman Kumar of Prince Pictures, who is currently bankrolling the upcoming Karthi-starrer Dev. Prince Pictures has earlier produced films like Suriya's Singam 2 and Trisha's Mohini.

Talking about the project, Karthik says, "Impressed with the teaser of Adanga Maru, Lakshman sir told me several months back that he wanted to do his next film with me, come what may. Subsequently, I narrated three rough drafts, all of which were close to my heart. Lakshman sir left it to my choice, but I couldn't decide which one to go ahead with.  Now, since he came to know that I am being approached by many production houses, he wanted to make an announcement on New Year's Day that my next film will be with his banner. So now I have to decide which of the three -- a nail-biting action script, a proper thriller plot, and an ambitious adventure drama -- will be my second film. Truth be told, I am yet to come out of the Adanga Maru glow. Once I start work on this, you can expect an official announcement, along with details of the cast and the crew."
