Karthi Opens Up About Mani Ratnam’s ‘Kaatru Veliyidai’

Karthi, who was once an assistant director to Mani Ratnam, was overwhelmed when he bagged the role in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Kaatru Veliyidai’. Recently, on January 26, the 50-second teaser of this Karthi and Aditi Rao Hydari starrer was released. The teaser is a visual treat to audience and interestingly, the film marks the 25-year collaboration of Mani Ratnam and A.R. Rahman.

In an interview with Deccan Chronicles, Karthi spoke his heart out about working on this film. Karthi said, “It’s been a huge learning curve for me. Mani sir used to read scene by scene. Be it his characterisation, scene development or improvisation — it was something novel and fresh to me, which I haven’t gone through so far. It felt like learning to act again.” On his flying sessions for the role of an air force officer, he said, “I met my friends, who are air force officers, and discussed their experiences with them.”

Karthi is working first time with A.R. Rahman in this film. When asked about working with music maestro, he exclaimed, “I am very excited. Rahman sir’s score floored me when I watched O Kadhal Kanmani. It was a well-crafted film with music finesse and thoroughly enjoyed his amazing music. Now, coming to think of being part of his musical in Kaatru Veliyidai, gives me a high.”
