As he gears up for the release of his latest film Vaa Vaathiyaar, actor Karthi gave fans a glimpse of what might come next – hinting at a possible collaboration with noted Telugu filmmaker Vivek Athreya. During promotional events for Vaa Vaathiyaar, Karthi revealed that Vivek Athreya has narrated a script to him and described the director as a “good writer.” While nothing is final yet, Karthi said he is “looking forward to the next narration,” sparking excitement about a potential new venture that would bridge Tamil and Telugu cinema.
If the collaboration materializes, it could mark a fresh direction in Karthi’s filmography, known for its versatility across genres. For now, all attention remains on Vaa Vaathiyaar, where Karthi plays a cop, a huge MGR fan – under director Nalan Kumarasamy, alongside Krithi Shetty and a strong supporting cast.
The announcement has prompted speculation about the kind of film this budding collaboration might produce. Given Vivek Athreya’s reputation for blending drama and realism in Telugu cinema, and Karthi’s own flair for character-driven stories, the pairing could result in a thoughtful yet commercially viable film.
Whether this turns into a confirmed project depends on how the forthcoming narration is received by the actor, but for now, the buzz around a possible Tamil – Telugu collaboration is enough to raise hopes among cinephiles and fans of Karthi’s diverse filmography that his next chapter may be one of the most exciting yet. Meanwhile, Karthi is currently shooting for Marshal and also has Sardar 2 lined up for a Summer 2026 release.
