"I always choose to do films that has good storyline. 'Thambi Vettothi Sundaram' (TVS) is one such movie that is based on a real life incident", says Karan.

Produced by J Senthilkumar and directed by Vadivudayan, 'TVS' features Anjali opposite Karan. Saravanan plays a meaty role in the movie which also has ‘Ganja’ Karuppu, Dhanushya and 'Kadhal' Dhandapani in the cast.

Impressed with the story, Karan, says, "ever since I chose to do hero roles, fortunately I always get good scripts. 'Thambi Vettothi Sundaram' is an engrossing and emotional tale of a rural youth".

On his part, the director says, "I was inspired by some men in my village and their valour. Incidents in their lives made me to pen the script. Once I completed it, I felt Karan was probably the only actor appropriate to play the lead role".
