It was previously stated that Karthi had collaborated with director Nalan Kumarasamy for his 26th film. The film has now been titled Vaa Vaathiyaar, and the directors have published a first-look poster to coincide with his birthday. Previously known as Karthi 26, the film stars Krithi Shetty as the female lead and has Sathyaraj and Rajkiran in key roles.
In the first-look poster, Karthi plays a cop. In the background, we can see several people dressed in the outfit of former actor-politician MG Ramachandran. Karthi had previously played cops in the films Siruthai, Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru, and Sardar.
Santhosh Narayanan composed the soundtrack for Vaa Vaathiyaar, his third collaboration with Kumarasamy after Soodhu Kavvum and Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum, and his third with Karthi following Madras and Kaashmora. The film is produced by KE Gnanavel Raja under his Studio Green banner. Details about the film’s narrative and release date have yet to be disclosed.
Karthi last appeared in Raju Murugan’s Japan. Suriya and Jyotika’s 2D Productions announced lately that the actor’s 27th film will be titled Meiyazhagan. Sri Divya acts as the female lead in the film, which is directed by C Prem Kumar of 96 fame. Saran Shakthi and Rajkiran also play major roles!
