Karthi’s much-awaited straight Telugu film was officially launched with a grand pooja ceremony in Hyderabad, marking a significant new chapter for the popular actor. This project, produced by Sithara Entertainments and helmed by Kalyan Shankar of 'Mad' fame, brings Karthi together with the talented Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead.
Karthi, who has steadily built a strong following among Telugu audiences, has been seeking a hit after his recent Sankranthi release 'Vaa Vaathiyaar' didn't perform as expected at the box office. Director Kalyan Shankar, known for his engaging comedic style, is set to deliver a fresh narrative for this film, with fans eager to see how the combination of Karthi and Meenakshi will light up the screen.
The film’s launch event saw the core team in attendance, symbolizing an auspicious beginning. Producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi is backing this prestigious entertainer, and the shoot is scheduled to commence soon. Social media buzz has already picked up, with fans expressing excitement about Karthi’s straight Telugu venture and the lively pairing with Meenakshi Chaudhary.
As Karthi completes his ongoing projects like 'Sardar 2' and 'Marshal', anticipation is high for more details on this untitled film’s cast, crew, and release plans. The team is expected to announce further updates in the coming weeks, keeping the momentum alive for Telugu cinema enthusiasts.
