Actor
Karthi,
who
plays
a
pilot
in
film-maker
Mani
Ratnam's
yet-untitled
Tamil
romantic
drama,
is
currently
undergoing
a
crash
course
in
flying.
"Karthi
is
learning
the
basics
of
flying,
which
includes
even
simple
things
like
how
to
be
seated
while
in
the
pilot's
seat.
It
will
be
a
2-3
weeks
crash
course
and
upon
completion,
the
makers
will
finally
take
the
film
on
the
floors," a
source
from
the
film's
unit
told
IANS.
Karthi
plays
an
NRI
in
the
film.
He
falls
in
love
with
a
doctor,
which
will
be
played
by
Aditi
Rao
Hydari,
while
on
a
trip
to
India.
Although
the
project
was
originally
supposed
to
star
Sai
Pallavi
as
its
female
lead;
she
was
recently
replaced
by
Aditi,
who
will
be
making
her
Tamil
comeback.
The
actress,
predominantly
seen
in
Hindi
cinema,
made
her
Tamil
debut
way
back
in
2007,
when
she
played
an
important
role
in
Sringaram.
The
regular
shooting
of
the
project
is
supposed
to
start
from
June,
and
the
team
is
targeting
a
year
end
release.
Produced
by
Ratnam's
Madras
Talkies,
the
film
will
have
its
music
composed
by
'Isaipuyal' AR
Rahman
and
cinematography
will
be
spearheaded
by
Ravi
Varman.
Meanwhile,
Karthi
is
also
busy
wrapping
up
work
on
his
upcoming
horror
film,
Kaashmora.
Being
directed
by
Gokul
of
Rowthiram
and
Idharkuthaney
Aasaipattai
Balakumara
fame,
the
film
also
stars
Nayantara,
Dri
Divya,
Manisha
Yadav
and
Vivekh
in
important
roles.
Interestingly,
Vivekh
will
be
seen
playing
Karthi's
father
in
the
movie,
which
will
have
its
music
composed
by
Santhosh
Narayanan.
For
the
3D
scan
technology
used
in
the
film,
Karthi's
face
was
scanned
at
a
studio
here
in
Chennai.
It
is
said
that
Kaashmora
is
the
first
Tamil
film
to
have
implemented
the
technology
in
India.
For
movies
like
Maattrraan
and
Kochadaiiyaan,
the
same
technology
was
executed
at
studios
in
the
United
States.
