Rakul, karthi to team up again

Even before their film Khakhee (Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru in Tamil) hits the screens, actors Karthi and Rakul Preet Singh have agreed to collaborate once again for an untitled movie. Touted to be a love story laced with loads of entertainment and action, the film will be directed by debutant Rajat Ravi Shankar. “Rakul and Karthi are coming together for a wholesome entertainer for the second time. Rajat narrated the script recently and Rakul was completely in awe of her character in the film.

She instantly gave her go ahead nod and the preparations for the film are underway,” says a source. To be produced by Lakshman Kumar, the film is likely to go onto the sets later this year soon after Rakul wraps up her upcoming Bollywood film Aiyaary. Meanwhile, Khakhee, directed by H Vinoth has completed the shooting and is gearing up for a simultaneous release in Telugu and Tamil on November 17.
