Karthi is set to collaborate with director Mohan Raja for an upcoming film, with the announcement made at the trailer launch event of ‘Sardar 2’.
Mohan Raja, who has directed films such as ‘Jayam’ (2003) and ‘Thani Oruvan’ (2015), revealed that his next project with Karthi will combine elements of two of his earlier films, ‘M Kumaran Son of Mahalakshmi’ and ‘Velaikkaran’.
While ‘M Kumaran Son of Mahalakshmi’ followed an underdog’s journey in the world of boxing against the backdrop of a personal loss, ‘Velaikkaran’ revolved around a man taking on a powerful company over concerns surrounding harmful food products.
The upcoming Karthi-starrer is expected to bring together the emotional and action-driven elements associated with both films.
‘Velaikkaran’, released in 2017, was Mohan Raja’s last Tamil directorial before he moved on to other projects. His most recent release was the 2022 Telugu film ‘Godfather’, a remake of Mohanlal’s Malayalam blockbuster ‘Lucifer’.
Mohan Raja is also set to reunite with his brother Ravi Mohan for ‘Thani Oruvan 2’. Meanwhile, Karthi is gearing up for ‘Sardar 2’, the sequel to his 2022 spy thriller ‘Sardar’. The film features an ensemble cast that includes SJ Suryah, Malavika Mohanan, Ashika Ranganath, Yogi Babu, Achyuth Kumar, Balaji Sakthivel and Rajisha Vijayan, among others.
