Kollywood star Karthi has bounced back with a hit after a long gap with Sathyam Sundaram. Released around the same time as the highly anticipated Devara, this film managed to stand its ground and achieve success. Interestingly, one of the factors contributing to the movie’s buzz was none other than Power Star Pawan Kalyan.
Initially, Sathyam Sundaram lacked the kind of hype surrounding Devara, with audiences fully focused on the latter. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Pawan Kalyan inadvertently drew attention to Karthi during the Tirupati Laddu controversy. This pushed Karthi into the spotlight on social media, generating curiosity around his movie.
Karthi’s response to the controversy, where he gracefully apologized for something he didn’t do, won over Telugu audiences. His humility and sincerity struck a chord, and the positive word-of-mouth coupled with the movie’s engaging storyline resulted in packed theaters. Sathyam Sundaram has been receiving rave reviews and strong box-office collections. To celebrate this, the Sathyam Sundaram team recently hosted a success meet, thanking the audience for their overwhelming support.
Karthi Addresses Rumors About Working with Mahesh Babu
During the success meet, Karthi was asked an intriguing question by a reporter: “When will you work with Mahesh Babu?” Karthi responded candidly, saying, “If a good script comes along, I’ll definitely do it. Mahesh and I were classmates in school.” This comment further fueled speculation about a possible collaboration in the future. Fans and the industry alike are eagerly awaiting Mahesh Babu’s next film SSMB 29, directed by the renowned SS Rajamouli, where rumors have been swirling about various star cameos and roles, including Karthi. However, Karthi’s remarks at the event have now clarified that he won’t be a part of SSMB 29.
Karthi’s Upcoming Projects
Apart from Sathyam Sundaram, Karthi has some exciting films lined up. One of them is Kaithi 2, a highly anticipated sequel. Additionally, he will also be seen in Kanguva alongside his brother Suriya, which fans are eagerly looking forward to. Directed by Kollywood’s star filmmaker Siva, Kanguva is set to release on October 10, and fans are curious to see how the sibling duo will entertain the audience with their performances in this big-budget spectacle.
With back-to-back promising projects, Karthi is gearing up for an exciting journey ahead, and fans can’t wait to see what he delivers next!
