Though many dubbing movies are successful in Telugu, there are only a few heroes from other languages that are adored by Telugu viewers. Real-life brothers Suriya and Karthi are two Tamil heroes who earned a special place in the hearts of Telugu people. Their craze in the Telugu states is huge and they have a huge fanbase because of their strong performances and versatile script selection.
While Suriya takes time to make films, Karthi is showing a lot of speed lately. He is on a roll these days with back-to-back hits. It all started with ‘Khaidi’ where people fell in love with his Dilli character. Even before that, his films like ‘Khaki’, ‘Awara’, ‘Naa Peru Shiva’ and others became big hits. His ‘Sardar’ was a very good hit in 2022 and his character was the most loved one in both ‘PS – 1’ as well as ‘PS – 2’.
He is arriving with his landmark 25th film ‘Japan’ on 10th November. There is a decent hype on the movie and Karthi even sang a song. The pre-release event in Telugu was organised in a grand manner with Venkatesh and Nani arriving as guests. The teaser and trailer showcase Karthi sporting a very whacky look and his dubbing is also quite unique. It is quite clear that he plays the role of a crazy gold robber, the makers have not revealed too much about the story.
The lack of competition in the Telugu states for this film is a huge plus point. While ‘Jigarthanda Double X’ is arriving on the same date, it won’t be a huge obstacle for Karthi if he manages to get a good talk. We need to wait and see if ‘Japan’ manages to continue Karthi’s successful run at the box office or becomes a speed breaker.
