Karthi, last seen in Meiyazhagan a year ago, currently has three films in the pipeline. His Vaa Vaathiyaar, with Nalan Kumarasamy, is all set to hit theatres on December 5. Meanwhile, the actor is also working on Sardar 2 with PS Mithran and Marshal with Tamizh. Now, in an interview with The New Indian Express' Indulge, the actor has exclusively revealed key details about Vaa Vaathiyaar and Sardar 2.
About Nalan's film, in which he plays Ramu, Karthi said, "Vaa Vaathiyaar is Nalan’s (Kumarasamy) film, and that says a lot on its own — Nalan has a huge fan following. He brings some crazy ideas to the table, but it’s a commercial potboiler, in his style. Adding the element of MGR into the mix brought a huge responsibility for all of us involved. From what I read in the script to what Nalan was creating on screen, it was completely different. I was impressed by his vision."
Sardar 2 is the sequel to the 2022 film of the same name, also helmed by PS Mithran. This time around SJ Suryah has joined the cast. Speaking about the sequel, Karthi said, "As for Sardar 2, it’s a continuation of the first part, focusing on this Indian spy, but this time it’s much bigger. And with SJ Suryah sir coming into the picture, the conflict grows much stronger. The story tackles an important issue, much like Sardar. The film addresses a current and relatable topic."
Vaa Vaathiyaar also stars Krithi Shetty, Sathyaraj, Rajkiran, Anandaraj, Shilpa Manjunath, Karunakaran, GM Sundar, Vadivukarasi, and Madhur Mittal, among others.
The production for Sardar 2 has been completed. Malavika Mohanan, Ashika Ranganath, Yogi Babu, and Rajisha Vijayan are also a part of the film's cast. The makers are yet to reveal full plot details and a release date for the film.
