Karthi on piracy, meeting Vijay , and his political entry
Speaking about the challenge of piracy and films appearing online on their theatrical release day, Karthi hoped for strong action. “Yes, Vijay sir, our CM understands this issue well. I hope he will take strong action. When I met our CM, I told him, ‘Anna, mathavangala vida ungalukku nallave theriyum. Neengale paathukonga (Brother, you understand this better than anyone else. Please take care of it yourself),” Karthi said. He also made it clear that politics was not part of his plans. “I don’t have any intention of entering politics. I have to deliver good films,” he added, making his priorities clear.
Karthi jokes about Suriya and reassures fans about ‘Kaithi 2’
A fan also asked Karthi what he does better than Suriya and what his brother does better than him. His playful answer brought the house down. “Naan nalla avara pottu kudupen, avaru nalla adipaaru, (I am good at teasing him, while he is good at beating me)” he joked. Karthi then added that he may have grown slightly taller than Suriya, but that did not mean he could take him on. “Singam konjam perusa dhaan irukku. Siruthai jump panni egirudum, (The lion may be bigger, but the leopard can jump and leap!)” he said, referring playfully to their popular films. Meanwhile, when the crowd began chanting for ‘Kaithi 2,’ Karthi assured fans that the sequel would happen, joking that they should first release ‘Sardar 2’ before asking Lokesh Kanagaraj to direct the next chapter.

We are ready for both,” he said.‘With ‘Sardar 2’ bringing him back to an action-packed world, expectations are now high for his next release.
