As a seasoned lifestyle expert with an eye for cinematic brilliance, I must say that Karthik Subbaraj’s journey in Tamil cinema is nothing short of inspiring. His ability to captivate superstars like Rajinikanth and Chiyaan Vikram with his unique storytelling is a testament to his raw talent and potential.


In a recent conversation, filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj shared that he previously pitched the concepts for both projects named “Jigarthanda DoubleX” and “Mahaan” to actor Rajinikanth – these were ideas he had prior to working on his latest film titled “Suriya 44.

In conversation with SS Music, the renowned director expressed that he had first proposed the idea for Jigarthanda DoubleX following Petta. However, his pitch was quite rudimentary at the time. Upon watching the movie, he inquired as to why I hadn’t shared the story with him earlier, and I explained that I had already told him about it, but it hadn’t developed to such an extent back then.

Additionally, the director disclosed that he shared with the star, Chiyaan Vikram, the narrative of Mahaan. Furthermore, he mentioned, “As soon as I have a fundamental concept, I go and discuss it with him. However, in future, I should be fully prepared when I present it to him.

The film, titled Vikram, features Dhruv Vikram in the main role alongside notable actors like Simran, Bobby Simha, Sananth, Vettai Muthukumar, Deepak Paramesh, among others, in pivotal positions.

Jigarthanda DoubleX is actually the backstory for the 2014 movie Jigarthanda, directed by none other than Karthik himself. This film brings together Raghava Lawrence and SJ Suryah in the main roles. The narrative unfolds around an ambitious policeman who gets falsely accused, and his lone means of escape is to outwit a local gangster, all while masquerading as a movie director.

Regarding the director’s upcoming projects, Karthik Subbaraj is set to debut on the silver screen alongside Suriya with a film that promises a blend of romance and high-octane action sequences.
