Immediately after completing ‘Saguni’, Karthi will start working with Suraj, the ‘big brother’ of commercial entertainers. In that movie, the actor will have two beautiful women opposite him and they are Anushka and Nikitha.
While Anushka has been signed for the project long back, the latest entrant is Nikitha, who recently faced a ban in Kannada film industry, which was however revoked later. “I am happy to act in a Tamil film with Karthi. I play a village belle in the movie,” she says.
The yet-to-be-titled film is set in the backdrop of both the city and the village, and we learn that the city portions would have Anushka romancing Karthi, with Nikitha playing his lady love in the rural scenes. “It is a complete commercial entertainer like the earlier ventures of Suraj,” sources say.
Meanwhile, Karthi is on the verge of completing the shoot of ‘Saguni’, directed by newcomer Shankar Dayal. He is also eagerly awaiting the release of his elder brother Surya’s Dewali treat ’7am Arivu’. “I will watch the film first day first show,” says the actor.

























Nikitha to pair up opposite Karthi in new film?
Actress Nikita Thukral had been to hell and back in the past month. Her career as an actress had been topsy-turvy to say the lease but was thankfully set right by the timely intervention of Mrs. Parvathamma Rajkumar. Nikita was branded as ‘home-breaker’ for her alleged ‘affair’ with Darshan, the popular Kannada actor, who was recently arrested on charges of assaulting his wife and was banned for 3 years from acting in Kannada films.
The ban by the Kannada Film Producers’ Council evoked widespread skepticism and it was only after Parvathamma, wife of the late and legendary Kannada actor Rajkumar, intervened in the matter that the ban was revoked within a couple of days. Nikita, who debuted in Tamil films with Kurumbu a few years back, has also starred in the Cheran-Prasanna starrer Muran which hit the screens yesterday.
She is now all set to pair up opposite Karthi in a new film to be directed by Siraj who has made films like Padikkadhavan and Maappillai. The as yet-untitled film might star Anushka as the first heroine with Nikita playing second fiddle, it is reported. At this stage, all Nikita reveal nothing more than the fact that she plays a village belle in the film.
Karthi, who is presently shooting for the final stages of his upcoming film Saguni, might start work on Siraj’s film after wrapping up the film. It is said that Nikita is being flooded with film offers from all the South Indian languages after the recent controversy.
