Directed by Murugadoss, "Kaththi" is one of the most-awaited films of 2014. The action thriller reportedly has Vijay in dual roles. Samantha, Bollywood actor Neil Nitin Mukesh and comedian Sathish are also playing pivotal roles in the film.
The shooting of "Kaththi" is progressing well and it is expected to be completed by August.
Murugadoss and Vijay's "Thuppakki" was one of biggest hits of tamil cinema. With the actor-director duo teaming up together, expectations are high for their upcoming project "Kaththi." The film's first look posters looks promising and have increased the hype among Vijay's fans. It will be interesting to see if "Kaththi" will be able to impress the audience and perform well at the box office.
The action entertainer, co-produced by Ayngaran International and LYCA productions, is gearing up for a Diwali 2014 release.
