When quizzed about his role in Cheliya, Karthi said that he had very tough time in playing it. "I play a fighter pilot who falls in love with an army doctor in the film. It was a difficult role as I had to look composed and calm for the entire duration of the film which is a unique love story," the actor told.
Talking about the preparation for his role, he said that he went to his brother for advise after hearing the script. "As soon as I heard the role, I went right away to my brother for inspiration. He laughed at me and said to start working out to look my part. I took Suriya's army officer role in Suriya son of Krishnan as an inspiration and worked hard on my looks and screen presence. I hope it will impress everyone," Karthi said.
