Actor Karthi had last acted in Thambi, directed by Jeethu Joseph and co-starring Jyothika, Sathyaraj and Nikhila Vimal. The actor who is now shooting for Maniratnam's Ponniyin Selvan will be having a release next with Bakkiyaraj Kannan's Sultan co-starring Rashmika Mandanna.

After Sultan, Karthi has signed a new movie which will be directed by Irumbuthirai and Hero director PS Mithran. This movie will be produced by Prince Pictures which has produced movies like Mohini, Singam 2 and Dev and will have music by GV Prakash.

The latest speculation that has been making the rounds is that this new movie of Karthi might have actress Malavika Mohanan as his pair. Malavika Mohanan had made her Tamil debut with Superstar Rajnikanth's Petta and is acting with Vijay next in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Master.
