Karthi's next film, Bad boy (Alex Pandian in Tamil), one of the hotly anticipated films of this year has been postponed but the good news that it will indeed arrive on the screens during Pongal. The producers of the film, Studio Green have confirmed that the film will indeed be hitting screens in January.

Bad boy is touted to be a mass entertainer and has Karthiand Anushka playing the lead. Directed by Suraaj, it also has a highlight in Santhanam who is teaming up with Karthi once again after Siruthai. Considering the comedy the duo came up with in the past and the entertainment factor of the film, Alex Pandian is likely to be welcomed well by the audience. The audio launch for the film is said to be round the corner and fans are looking forward to hear Devi Sri Prasad's peppy numbers once again.

The question is, will the Telugu version, release on the same day as the Tamil version releases? In that case, the film will have it slug it out with SVSC, Naayak and Shadow in the same month.
