Karthi trying to score big in Telugu

Actor Karthi is hugely popular not only in Tamil Nadu but also in both the Telugu states. His films like Yuganiki Okkadu, Awara, Naa Peru Surya, Oopiri and Khakhee have done well in the Telugu as well. Though all these films were hit, they were not big enough for Karthi to create a market here.

Hence, he is looking to score that one big blockbuster with his upcoming film Dev. Directed by debutant Rajath Ravi Shankar, The film is gearing up for a release in both Tamil and Telugu tomorrow. If this film becomes a big hit, Karthi will definitely create a market for himself in Tollywood.

That is the reason, he is promoting the film more in Telugu than Tamil. Starring Rakul Preet as the female lead, the film is an urban romantic action entertainer and was shot extensively abroad. The music of the film is composed by Harris Jayaraj.
