Karthi – Director Mari Selvaraj is experiencing a prolific phase in his career, with several exciting projects underway. Currently, he is gearing up for the release of his film Vaazhai, his fourth directorial venture following Pariyerum Perumal, Karnan, and Maamannan.
Vaazhai, produced by Disney+ Hotstar, Navvi Studios, and Farmer’s Master Plan Production, features a cast that includes Ponvel M, Raghul R, Kalaiyarasan, Nikhila Vimal, and others. Set to hit theaters on August 23, the film promises to be another compelling addition to Selvaraj’s portfolio.
In addition to Vaazhai, Selvaraj is currently working on Bison Kaalamadan with actor Dhruv Vikram. This upcoming film, which centers around kabaddi sports, is described as a rural drama and showcases Selvaraj’s continued exploration of diverse themes. Actress Anupama Parameswaran stars alongside Vikram, with the film backed by Neelam Productions and Applause Entertainment. The production is actively underway, with much anticipation surrounding its release.
Potential Collaboration with Karthi
Recent reports suggest that Mari Selvaraj is in discussions with actor Karthi for a new, untitled project. This potential collaboration would mark the first time Selvaraj and Karthi have worked together. The director and actor reportedly met while Selvaraj was working on Maamannan. Following this meeting, Karthi expressed interest in working with Selvaraj, leading to discussions about a new film. Although an official announcement is still pending, the project is expected to commence after Selvaraj completes his second film with Dhanush, which was announced following the success of their previous collaboration, Karnan.
Upcoming Projects and Expectations
With Vaazhai and Bison Kaalamadan set to showcase different facets of Selvaraj’s filmmaking skills. The potential collaboration with Karthi on the horizon, the director’s future projects are eagerly awaited. Each of these endeavors promises to offer fresh and engaging content, continuing Selvaraj’s trend of delivering impactful cinema. His previous films, including Pariyerum Perumal and Karnan, received critical acclaim for their socially relevant themes and compelling storytelling. Maamannan, featuring a stellar cast including Vadivelu, Udhayanidhi Stalin, and Fahadh Faasil, further solidified his reputation.
