Karthi will appear in clean-shaven look for some portions in Mani Ratnam’s Kaatru Veliyidai, which is currently on to its second leg of shooting in Chennai. The team has shot a song sequence in Binny Mills and a celebratory scene in Victoria Public Hall recently.
Tipped to be a romance drama in the backdrop of a war zone, Kaatru Veliyidai has a stellar supporting cast including RJ Balaji, veteran Malayalam actress KPAC Lalitha, dancer-actress Rukmini Vijayakumar of Shamitabh fame, Shraddha Srinath of U-Turn fame and Bollywood actor Vipin Sharma in important roles. AR Rahman and Vairumuthu collaborate on the music and lyrics for the project.
