Karunaas is one of the very few comedians in Tamil cinema who is successful as a ‘hero’ too. The ‘Dindigul Sarathy’ protagonist, who is expecting the release of ‘Ambasamudhiram Ambani’, is now getting ready to do the lead role in three films.

One of the three projects will be directed by Ramnath. A comedy caper, the film will be shot at deep jungles in South Africa. A popular heroine will share the screen space with Karunaas in this movie, sources say.

The second film will be directed by Ram of ‘Kattradhu Thamizh’ fame. Titled ‘Thanga Meengal’, the movie is expected to be a comic treat to all, especially children. According to sources, the movie is set in a different backdrop.

Also in the pipeline is the Tamil remake of Malayalam super hit ‘Yaanai Vaal Modhiram’. Circles close to Karunaas say he would continue to do comedian even as he plays the protagonist. “He wants to be successful in both trades,” they add.
