Karthi's ‘Chinna Babu’, dubbed from Tamil, is ready for a grand theatrical release. The rural-based drama is one of the most optimistic dubbed releases in recent times.

"We are planning to hold the film's audio function on June 23. As for the release, it's July 13," the makers have said.

Karthi's brother, actor Suriya, will be gracing the audio release event as the chief guest. Produced by Suriya and Miryala Ravinder Reddy on 2D Entertainment and Dwaraka Creations, the film's promising Teaser was recently out.

Sayyeshaa of 'Akhil' fame is the heroine. Written and directed by Pandiraj, the film is an intense family, action and comedy. "Our film also deals with the issues of farmers. Karthi is playing the role of a farmer," the director says.

D Imman's first single was released on Wednesday. R Velraj is the cinematographer.
