Playing father and son in one film like Karthi Is Juggling, a period hero in another, and a bilingual lead in a third isn’t a light workload — but that’s exactly where Karthi’s schedule stands right now. Buzz suggests he’s about to finish one project before returning to a much bigger one.
What’s Reportedly Happening?
According to reports, Karthi is currently filming “Karthi30,” a Tamil-Telugu bilingual directed by “Mad” fame Kalyan Shankar, with around 20 days of shooting left. Once that wraps, he’s expected to resume “Marshal,” his period drama that reportedly still has about half its shoot remaining. None of these scheduling details have been officially confirmed by the makers.
Karthi’s Current Project Lineup
| Film | Director | Status | Co-Stars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Karthi30 | Kalyan Shankar | ~20 days of shoot left | Meenakshi Chaudhary |
| Marshal | Tamizh | ~50% shoot remaining | Kalyani Priyadarshan, Aadhi Pinishetty |
| Sardar 2 | PS Mithran | Releasing Sept 10, 2026 | SJ Suryah, Malavika Mohanan |
| Untitled | Mohan Raja | Announced | TBA |
What Marshal Is About
Set in 1965, “Marshal” is a period drama with Kalyani Priyadarshan as the female lead and Aadhi Pinishetty expected to play the antagonist. It was officially launched under director Tamizh, known for “Taanakkaran.”
Why This Juggling Act Matters
Running multiple big productions in parallel is common for top South Indian stars, but the reported sequencing here is telling — wrapping the smaller-scale “Karthi30” before diving back into the heavier, half-finished “Marshal” suggests a deliberate effort to close out lighter commitments before tackling a demanding period setting. With Karthi also gearing up for “Sardar 2’s” September release and a fourth project already announced with Mohan Raja, his slate over the next year looks unusually packed even by industry standards.
