Karthi's forthcoming political satire, 'Saguni', will do away from clichéd racy political thrillers where the hero beats up goons and baddies or dons the role of a politician to teach his villain a lesson.

While speaking to a media publication recently, the director confirmed this. Karthi, after facing tussles in his village, moves to Chennai where certain circumstances lead him to opt for politics.

"Although people perceive the very name Saguni to a person who is cunning, we can't forget that Saguni is one of the most intelligent persons in an epic, that's why the director chose this title for the film, as it is apt for Karthi's character", say sources in the know. "Karthi's character has negative shades in the film, but in the end, he does it all for the good of the society", they further add. In fact, it is said that his character, at certain portions will remind one of corporate lobbyist Nira Radia, of 2G spectrum scam.

Quoted the director, "The film doesn't have a clichéd climax of the hero smashing up the goons. It's a different screenplay and I wrote the script keeping Karthi in mind".

With good on-screen chemistry between Karthi and Pranitha, a political satire without villains and Karthi in part grey shades, 'Saguni' sure looks like a promising venture.
