Karthi has given bulk dates to director Bakkiyaraj Kannan as his ongoing project Kaithi with director Lokesh Kanagaraj is fast nearing the completion.
The first look poster of Kaithi was released recently and has caught the attention of the cinephiles. It is Lokesh Kanagaraj’s second outing after his highly appreciated thriller Maanagaram.
Speculations are also rife that the star is also in talks with Malayalam filmmaker Jeethu Joseph for a family drama, in which he is likely to share screen space with his real-life sister-in-law Jyothika.
