Karthi has given back to back hits this year 'Kaithi' and 'Thambi' and is currently camped in Thailand for a staggering two months call sheet for Mani Ratnam's 'Ponniyin Selvan' costarring Jayam Ravi, Vikram, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Trisha and others.

Karthi's next is with P.S. Mithran of 'Irumbu Thirai' and 'Hero' fame which will start sometime in April and will be produced Lakshman who already bankrolled the box office dud 'Dev'.  It is said that Karthi will be playing dual roles in the film and one of the characters will be sporting long hair which conveniently coincides with his 'Ponniyin Selvan' getup.  The other role portions will be filmed later when the historical is finished.

The Karthi-P.S. Mithran film reportedly will have the director's regular crew members Yuvan Shankar Raja, George C Williams and Ruben.  Stay tuned for the official announcement soon.  Meanwhile Mithran's 'Hero' starring Sivakarthikeyan and Arjun has taken a good opening at the box office and is expected to become a major hit to round off the year.
