Kaithi first look: Karthi promises an intense action thriller

In 2017, Lokesh made an impressive debut with Maanagaram, a thriller set in Chennai. The film received glowing reviews from fans and critics alike, and subsequently emerged as a box office hit.

Interestingly, Lokesh Kanagaraj had earlier revealed that there is no heroine in Kaithi for Karthi. The film also stars Narain, Dheena and George Mariyan among others.

Karthi was last seen in director Rajath Ravishankar’s romantic entertainer Dev. The film released on Valentine’s Day, receiving mixed response from the audience and critics.

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 Jyotika.
