Strategic updates and verified intelligence from the Movies vertical.
Veteran Tamil filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj opens up about the future of his much‑loved Jigarthanda franchise, confirming that Jigarthanda 3 will indeed happen, albeit not in the immediate future. He shares that the story seed is already in his mind and that his next directorial effort will feature fresh faces. The director also celebrates the recent release of his production venture Neelira, an indie drama that has already earned praise from big names like Suriya, Vetrimaaran, AR Murugadoss and Lokesh Kanagaraj. According to Karthik, Suriya not only watched Neelira but actively supported the film, discussing it at length with its director Someetharan. Co‑producer Kaarthekeyen Santhanam adds that a hit for Neelira could open doors for many storytellers from the Eelam community and independent creators across Tamil cinema. The interview, conducted by GREE News, offers a candid glimpse into Karthik’s creative process, his respect for indie cinema, and his hopes of setting a new commercial‑indie precedent in the industry.
