Handsome Karthi who is been working for Attakathi director Ranjith's Kaali after Venkat Prabhu's Biriyani will start the shooting of his next film from June.

Untitled Karthi's new film will be a quickie that will complete shooting in three months. Kutti Puli director Muthaiah will wield the megaphone for this rural entertainer to be shot in southern Tamil Nadu.

Makers are in talks with Lakshmi Menon to play Karthi's love interest and are expected to announce the complete cast and crew details soon.

Karthi will join his Paiyaa director Lingusamy's Yenni Ezhu Naal after this yet-to-be-titled film by the year end. Meanwhile, Karthi's Kaali with Catherine Tresa as the female lead and Santhosh Narayan's music is nearing completion.
