Karthi talks about Paiyya

Karthi goes from the uncouth rural youth in Paruthiveeran to the utterly sophisticated software professional in his upcoming Paiyya. For several unknown reasons, his actual second movie Aayirathil Oruvan still stays put in the cans, but that has not dampened the aspiring actor's spirits. He is in fact quite high about Paiyya, that has action, comedy and romance intertwined. 'There are many action scenes in Paiyya and I had to practise hard to perform the stunts. I worked on my body language, timing and training. Even though it was an arduous task, I enjoyed the process,' says the actor, who is sweating it out at the gym every single day. About the story, he says, 'Paiyya is a very urbane film. This is the first time I am doing a romantic flick and I am really excited! It is the story of a young man and woman, who are on a journey from Bangalore to Mumbai in a car. I play a jobless software engineer. Shot entirely in a car, the screenplay is extremely interesting and there are many surprises. I am sure it will make for an exciting watch.' We are sure too. In fact, audiences are eagerly awaiting a movie from the young actor who gave an impressive performance in his maiden venture. Just one movie old, Karthi has a formidable fan following already! Karthi's co-star in the movie is Tamannaah, who is fresh from the success of Ayan opposite his brother Suriya. Insiders reveal the two make a fine couple and have struck quite a bond of friendship during the course of filming. 'It was good fun working with her. She is a talented and dedicated artist. As for director Lingusamy, he is an amazing person to work with. He takes good care of all his actors. He is easygoing and doesn't lose his temper at all. But what I like best about him is that he takes life as it comes,' he said.
