The possibility of either Nayanthara or Trisha sharing screen space with Karthi has already generated considerable excitement among fans on social media. Both actresses enjoy immense popularity and have delivered several successful films with leading stars over the years. Nayanthara, in particular, has previously collaborated with Mohan Raja on films such as ‘Thani Oruvan,’ ‘Velaikkaran,’ and ‘Godfather,’ making her a familiar creative partner for the director. As pre-production continues, fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement on who will be cast as the female lead.
Mohan Raja and Karthi team up for a promising new venture
Mohan Raja unveiled the project as part of his 25th year in the film industry. Production is expected to commence later this year once Karthi wraps up work on ‘Sardar 2,’ which is slated for a September 10 release. Besides this, Karthi has a packed schedule with the period action drama Marshal and an untitled film directed by Kalyan Shankar. Given Mohan Raja’s track record of delivering successful commercial entertainers, anticipation surrounding the collaboration is already high.
