After the success of ‘Ayan’, it was announced that the next project that will bring Suriya and K V Anand together, will be produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin. But suddenly Suriya got busy with RGV’s ‘Raktha Charithra’ and A R Murugadoss project. So, the industry was abuzz that Karthi is filling the vacuum created by his bro.

When we asked about the association with Karthi to K V Anand the director said, “I will be starting the project with Suriya for Red Giant movies by next year in June. And there is not change in this project. And the reason for this project being postponed is Suriya’s commitment for his next with A R Murugadoss.”

“And in this 6 months gap I wanted to work on a film, because I had a script in hand, that has Chennai as its backdrop. Then we decided to cast in Karthi for this project. But, when we knew that his call-sheets are filled we decided to choose Arya or Silambarasan. We, however, did not make any moves to approach both the actors. We will be deciding everything and make arrangements within a weeks time.”

“I am a person who trusts a lot in the casting and location. If we choose actors who reflect their character in the film through their appearance, half of the work is done. So I give equal value to the casting and the script. Am not willing to wait for anyone but I need the person who is suitable for the script,” wraps up the director.
