This year Pongal he roared with 'Siruthai'. And for 2012 Pongal, Karthi Sivakumar will play the gamble with 'Saguni', his first political satire. Produced by K E Gnanavelraja's Studio Green and directed by newcomer Shankar Dayal, the film is in its last schedule of shooting.

"The producer and the director are gearing up to release Saguni for the harvest festival. The film hogs importance in Karthi's career since this is his first venture after getting married. Hence the actor is waiting with bated breath to know the results," informed sources tell us.

A host of popular faces are part of 'Saguni', including Radhika Sarathkumar, Santhanam and of course, the heroine Pranitha of 'Udhayan' fame. The movie will be simultaneously released in Telugu as 'Sakuni' since the actor has a good market in Andhra Pradesh.

"An audio launch function will take place for Saguni in Chennai in the month of December, after which promotions will start in full swing," sources add. Remember Studio Green is known for its aggressive promotional activities which would make its films grab attention.
