Director Mari Selvaraj is highly regarded because of his visual metaphors and bold storytelling. All three films from him went on to be huge hits. He is all set to direct Dhruv Vikram next in a Kabaddi player's biopic under Pa Ranjith's Neelam Productions. He also has a film with Dhanush under Wunderbar Studios.

The latest news is that Mari Selvaraj will be teaming up with actor Karthi for a new film, bankrolled by Prince Pictures. The studio confirmed this through their birthday wishes to the director yesterday. This project is likely to go on the floors in 2025 and will be released in the same year. This movie is said to be 'Karthi 28'. It will begin after the actor's ongoing films.

Karthi also has 'Sardar 2', 'Kaithi 2' and a gangster film with director Tamizh of 'Tanaakkaran' fame. This project may take time to materialise. Meanwhile, Mari Selvaraj was buzzed to direct Superstar Rajinikanth in a film. That venture might be delayed or shelved. We have to wait for an official announcement regarding the film.
