Karthi's next will be with prolific filmmaker Mani Ratnam, whom he has assisted before he became an actor.
Tipped to be another romantic drama and co-starring Aditi Rao Hydari, Karthi will be seen as a pilot, a role which he’d be essaying for the first time in his career.
While the official announcement from the director-producer is yet to be made, the studio sessions for the film’s soundtrack have already started.
Mani Ratnam’s standard music accomplices AR Rahman and Vairamuthu are working with him in the film.
This came to be known when Vairamuthu and Rahman recently interacted with fans and went live on Periscope.
During the interaction, Vairamuthu confirmed that they are working for Mani Ratnam’s next film, which would be a musical romantic tale. However, he did not wish to speak further on the subject.
The film is reportedly going to be produced by Mani Ratnam's Madras Talkies.
