Actor Gautham Karthik who had his entry into Tamil cinema through Mani Ratnam’s Kadal has been in a success drought for some time now. He is yet to deliver a solid commercial success ever since his superhit adult entertainer Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuththu. The Anandham Vilayadum Veedu actor had his last outing in the likes of the action movie Yutha Satham which hit the theaters under the directorial of Ezhil with actor Parthiban in the lead. The project did not live up to the expectations of the audience, and thus left the screens unnoticed. The actor has now put that behind him, and is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming entertainer christened Criminal. Actress Janani of Thegidi fame has depicted the female lead role in the film. Storyteller Dhakshina Moorthy Ramar has penned and directed the entertainer. The venture went on floors with a small pooja ceremony at the beginning of this year.
Last month the production unit had announced the completion of the first schedule of shoot for the drama. We had also reported the same, and had reported that the team is shooting on a tight schedule as they are eyeing to bring the entertainer to the theaters for summer this year. As reported by us, now the shoot for Criminal is wrapped, and the flick is in the post production stage getting shaped for release. The production unit themselves has announced the news on social media. Taking to their official twitter handle, the production house has dropped a few snaps of the team’s cake cutting celebration, and wrote, “It’s a wrap for Criminal. Starring Gautham Karthik Sarath Kumar Janani Deepthie Orintelu Raveena Ravi.” Here is the tweet made by the production house.
