After playing a police officer in the hit film Siruthai, Karthi will once again sport khaki in his upcoming film, which is interestingly titled Dheeran Adhigaram Ondru, helmed by Vinoth of Sathuranga Vettai fame.
Recently, director Vinoth revealed that the film is based on the real-life story of a newspaper article published in 2005 and Karthi wanted to keep his character as true as possible to the original person.
Vinod developed the script by conversing with several police officers and the director had a 600-page documentation on a serious crime. The film will have a strong North Indian connection not only in terms of location but also in the star cast.
While Rakul Preet will be romancing Karthi and popular Marathi poet and actor Kishore Kadam will make his Kollywood debut playing an important role in this film, Abhimanyu Singh of 'Thalaivaa' fame plays the villain.
Ghibran will take care of the music department and the film will be bankrolled by SR Prabhu’s Dream Warrior Pictures, which had earlier produced Karthi’s Kaashmora and Nayanthara’s Maya.
The shooting of this film commenced in January 2017 and the makers are planning to release the film simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu in August this year.
