Surely, much is happening on the horizontal mobility front for Karthi. It is with the ambition of making a mark in Andhra Pradesh that he has been active in promoting Sakuni here. All his expectations from Malligadu crashed owing to the film's dismal performance. (After all, it was a 2006 film, which looked way too raw for our audiences).

Alex Pandiyan is a big-ticket Tamil film directed by Suraj. KE Gnanavelraja of Studio Green is planning to release this film as Bad Boy in Telugu. He may well outdo Bellamkonda Suresh in going for a mega release of this multi-crore film.

The good news is that Devi Sri Prasad is the music director. If this is not enough, Anushka is playing the female lead. Coming to Karthi’s characterization, he will be seen as a self-styled negative personality type in this action-oriented flick.
