Karthi and I might collaborate later, will have to wait-Prasanth Varma

For some time now, buzz has been strong about a possible collaboration between filmmaker Prasanth Varma and Tamil star Karthi. However, fans may need to be patient, as this director-actor duo is not set to join forces just yet.
In an exclusive conversation with us, Varma confirms pitching a script to the Ponniyin Selvan actor, but also says that their busy schedules would make an immediate collaboration unlikely. Varma shares, “Karthi and I have met and discussed something, but nothing will happen immediately. I have two to three films in the pipeline and he, too, has a couple of projects. We might collaborate later.”
So, does he have a character in mind for Karthi? “We have already pitched a story to him and he has liked it. But he needs to wrap up his current commitments. We will figure out the dates then and see how things unfold,” says Varma.
On a separate note, after pulling off a hit, the Teja Sajja-starrer Hanuman, the filmmaker has announced its sequel, titled Jai Hanuman. “The film’s pre-production work has been underway for the last few months. I am just waiting to put it all together, and the announcement will be made next month,” he says.

Aditi Rao Hydari has just landed a dream project. She will feature in
Mani Ratnam's next Tamil film which is expected to roll in a few months.
The actress was out of town but her spokesperson confirmed the news,
saying, "Yes, Aditi was approached for the film and will be doing it." The film has already created a huge buzz with stories being 'leaked' about Karthik Sivakumar, popularly known as Karthi, playing an NRI pilot who falls in love with a doctor, played by Aditi, during a trip to India. A poster with the title, Kuruthi Pookkal, has been designed with a rose bud, a gun and a splash of blood and shared on the net. But a source close to the multiple National Award-winning filmmaker dismisses all these speculations as "nothing but rumours" and insists that this is definitely not the title of the film and the poster is but a random image. He insists that except for Aditi and Karthi, and A R Rahman who will compose the soundtrack for the film, nothing else has be confirmed.
Karthi's Tamil-Telugu dramedy, Thozga/Oopiri, the official remake of the 2011 French film, The Untouchables, opened on March 25 to a positive response. The original also featured Nagarjuna Akkineni and Tamannaah Bhatia.
Aditi's last release was Bejoy Nambiar's Wazir where she played Farhan Akhtar's wife. It also featured Amitabh Bachchan as a wheelchair-bound chess grandmaster.
The actress also plays a modern-day Chandramukhi in Sudhir Mishra's upcoming political thriller, Aur Devdas. She is currently in the US for an event and is expected to be back by the end of the month.
