Well-known veteran actor Sowcar Janaki, who was last seen on screen in Telugu film Babu Bangaram, has been roped in for a key role in Jyothika’s next yet-untitled project with director Jeethu Joseph, who returns to Tamil filmdom with this project, which also stars Karthi.
Tipped to be a thriller that revolves around a family, the film will see Jyothika and Karthi play siblings while Sathyaraj and Anson Paul will be seen essaying important roles. The film's latest addition is Master Ashwanth who had stole the show in Super Deluxe as Raasukutty.
Rensil D’Silva and Manikandan have associated with the director for the scripting work and the film is being jointly bankrolled by Viacom 18 and 2D Entertainment which is owned by Karthi's brother Suriya.
The project went on the floors in May and Jyotika is expected to join the sets from next week. Karthi, who has already started shooting for the project, will juggle between the sets of this project and his upcoming romantic comedy with Remo director Bakkiyaraj Kannan.
Jeethu Joseph also awaits the release of his Bollywood flick, Body, scheduled to release this year. It is currently in the post-production mode and will hit the marquee during the middle of the year. The film has Emraan Hashmi, Vedhika Kumar and Rishi Kapoor in the lead roles.
Last seen in Raatchasi which features her in the role of a teacher, Jyothika also has other projects in the making. Raatchasi, directed by debutant S Gowtham Raj, also stars Poornima Bhagyaraj, Sathyan, Hareesh Peradi and Kavitha Bharathi among other actors. Sean Roldan has been roped in to compose music while Gokul Benoy has cranked the camera.
