The trailer and website of ‘Siruthai’, Karthi’s first full-fledged mass masala film, was launched at a grand function in Chennai on Sunday.

Lingusamy, who gave the memorable ‘Paiyaa’ with Karthi, launched the website, while Gautham Vasudev Menon, a good friend of the actor’s brother Suriya, launched the trailer, all in the presence of Suriya.

A host of celebrities, including Sivakumar, ‘Jayam’ Ravi, Tamannah, Vidyasagar, R Parthiban, S P Muthuraman, A Jagannathan, Vijay, Prabu Solomon, Rajeevan, director Siva and producer Gnanavel Raja attended the event.

In his address, Suriya said that ‘Siruthai’ will be more powerful than ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ and ‘Singam’, the two films in which he had played the role of a police officer. “Karthi has worked hard for the film,” he said.

Karthi said he tried hard not to look like his brother in ‘Singam’. “Director Siva reworked the script for more than a year and Vidyasagar has given excellent songs. I am waiting the film’s release,” he said.

The trailer and two songs of ‘Siruthai’, which is a remake of Tollywood hit ‘Vikramarkudu’ starring Ravi Teja and Anushka in lead roles, were screened for the audience.
