Indian star Karthik Sivakumar, known by his screen name Karthi, is bullish about upcoming release “Japan,” his 25th film.
The film is due to release in November during the Deepavali holiday frame in Tamil, Telugu and a few other languages. “It’s a crime thriller, it’s got a manhunt to it. But apart from that, the writing and characters in the film are so well-rooted, and at the same time, it’s got a lot of flamboyance – it’s a very unique combination,” Karthi told Variety.
The film, from prolific south Indian studio Dream Warrior Pictures, is directed by Raju Murugan. “Being so grounded and yet having the flamboyance and the cockiness of this character is what got me hooked to the project, and the keenness to work with Raju Murugan – I’ve liked his earlier two films ‘Cuckoo’ and ‘Joker’ and his understanding of local community, the culture here,...

Actors: Karthi, Kajal Agarwal, Jaya Prakash and others
Banner: Studio Green Films, Cloud Nine Productions
Production: K.E. Gnyanavel Raja, Dayanidhi Azhagiri
Direction: Susindran
Dialogues: Bhaskar Sakthi
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Looks like Susindran had his fingers crossed soon after writing the script. One could really wonder how come producers of Studio Green Films could accept such scripts and Dayanidhi Azhagiri acquiring the rights over the project. The film might be having higher expectations as Kalainyar TV airs continuous promos and more promotions. But when you walk out of theatres, it’s completely annoying as the film doesn’t offer any in special.
Let’s make it clear this way. The first half is fun-ridden romantic drama while the second half is damn serious. Few may have great likeliness for the first half while others prefer second hour due to its interesting narration.
However when it comes to analyzing the film on whole,...
