Karthi is kicked about his role in Saguni, which will hit the the atres soon. “When director Shankar Dhayal came and narrated a story with lead characters named Kamal and Rajini, I was taken aback for a while. The next question I asked him was, `What is the name of the female lead in the film? He said, `Sridevi.’ I was wondering if the script might trigger off some controversy,“ said Karthi. He added, “Thankfully, the characters’ names were just to create some intrigue and the film has nothing to do with the filmstars.“

Karthi was all praise for Praneetha, his romantic partner in Saguni. “Praneetha is not only very beautiful but also a dedicated actress,“ he said.

Though it is a political satire, the movie is not about politics but about Kamal’s journey and how it lands him in sticky situations. Radhika Sarathkumar returns after a gap in a local counselor role. According to the makers, Saguni will be released in 850 screens in Tamil across the world and plans are on for a simultaneous release in Tollywood as well. Saguni
