We all know that Karthi teamed up with director PS Mithran last year and delivered the super hit film 'Sardar'. While spy thrillers haven't had any luck in Tamil cinema, this is one of the movies to have tasted success in that genre. Prince Pictures announced that Sardar will have a sequel during the film's success celebration.
