The film’s poojs launch ceremony was held earlier this month, and the shooting is expected to begin soon.

The versatile actor Arvind Swamy, who made a stunning comeback with his villainous role in the 2015 blockbuster Thani Oruvan, is all set to don the director’s hat for the first time.

Karthi 27 is said to be bankrolled by his brother Suriya’s 2D Entertainment with cinematography Sathyan Sooryan.

Kollywood is filled with an interesting buzz that Arvind Swamy will reunite with Rajinikanth in the latter's next project after his current one Jailer.

Arvind Swami has now taken a major and crucial task in his career as he going to act as MGR in 'Thalavi', which is a biopic based on the life of late Chief Minister Jayalalithaa.
