Actor Karthi, fresh of the success of Thozha, has started preparation for his next project with filmmaker Mani Ratnam. It is believed that the actor, who plays a pilot in the movie, has started undergoing flying classes. According to a source, it will be a two-week crash course to help Karthi familiarize with the basics of flying, which includes even the seating posture while in the pilot seat. As soon he wraps up his course, the project will go to the sets.

Tipped to be another romantic drama, and co-starring Aditi Rao Hydari as a doctor, the project is said to go on the floors from June. While the other details of the project are heavily guarded, sources say that Karthi will play an NRI, who falls in love while on a trip to India.

Double Oscar-winning composer A.R Rahman will compose the tunes, while ace lensman Ravi Varman will crank the camera. Some important portion of the film is likely to be shot in Kashmir and its surrounding regions.
