He addressed Karthi and Arvind Swami for bringing up a class-apart performance, something which maintained a perennial smile on his face all throughout the time.

Nagarjuna expressed, “Dear brother Karthi, I saw your film #SatyamSundaram last night!! You and Arvind ji were just too too good… I had a smile throughout watching you and went to sleep with the same smile… Brought back so many childhood memories… and also memories of our film #oopiri. I’m so happy that people and the critics are appreciating such heart warming, Films!! kudos to the entire team!!!”

Back in an interview with YouWe Media, Karthi opened up about his brother and the producer of his film, Suriya’s reaction to him doing the lead role in Meiyazhagan.
Karthi revealed that the Kanguva actor was beyond happy and was quite well involved with every miniscule step to the production of the movie, right from the script reading to finally watching the film on the silver screen.
The actor recalled, “He (Suriya) was very very happy with the final output of the film. He even asked me about how are you getting these scripts. He also called up the director and spoke to him after watching the film.”
For the unversed, Meiyazhagan was released theatrically on September 27, 2024. The film is directed by Prem Kumar. It is bankrolled under Suriya and Jyothika’s official production house 2D Media.
