The teaser of Karthi starrer Kaithi, which has been directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, was released on Thursday and the visuals promise an intense action thriller. The teaser opens with a cop telling his colleagues that they will stay off the road on this particular night for reasons we will get to know when we watch the film. He tells his colleagues that the number of crimes will hit a record high by morning. Going by the rest of the teaser, it looks like a group of gangsters are after someone and it’s safe to assume that it’s Karthi.
The title and a few shots have hinted that Karthi plays a character that breaks out of prison but we have to wait for the film to release to know why he’s being hunted. Until the last, the teaser doesn’t give us a good view of Karthi, who is seen sitting on the ground and eating like nothing else matters.
The teaser also makes it clear that majority portion of the film has been shot at night. It has also been made clear that the film doesn’t feature a leading lady as it is believed to unfold in a single night. Most of the film has been shot in and around Chennai and Tirunelveli. The project also stars Narain, Dheena and George Mariyan in important roles while Sam CS has composed the music.
Kaithi, which has been produced by Dream Warrior Pictures, features Karthi in a thick bearded look. If everything goes as planned, the film will hit the screens in June or July. Meanwhile, Karthi has commenced work on his next project which also stars his sister-in-law Jyothika. The yet-untitled film is being directed by Jeethu Joseph.
