'Karthi 29' faces major change before filming begins

Karthi is all set for his 29th film—a period gangster story directed by Tamizh, inspired by a smuggling plot from the Rameswaram coast in the 1960s.
The movie starts filming in July 2025 and is backed by Dream Warrior Pictures, Ivy Entertainment, and B4U Motion Pictures.

TL;DR

'Kaithi' cinematographer Sathyan Sooryan onboard

Cinematographer Sathyan Sooryan, who worked with Karthi on Kaithi, is rejoining him for this project, replacing S.R. Kathir.
With its unique maritime setting and smuggling plot, plus a creative team known for strong visuals and storytelling, this could be one of Karthi's most ambitious films yet—definitely something Tamil cinema fans will want to keep an eye on.
