Aadhi Pinisetty Likely to Play Villain Opposite Karthi in Tamizh’s Action Entertainer Marshal
Chennai: The buzz in Kollywood is growing stronger around director Tamizh’s upcoming action entertainer Marshal, featuring actor Karthi in the lead role. If industry reports are to be believed, actor Aadhi Pinisetty has been approached to play the antagonist in the high-octane film.
According to sources, Malayalam star Nivin Pauly was the first choice for the villain’s role. However, due to scheduling conflicts, he could not commit to the project. The makers are now believed to be in talks with Aadhi, who has previously impressed audiences with his performances in both protagonist and antagonist roles.
A Lavish Production Planned in Two Parts?
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Marshal is being planned as a two-part franchise, making it one of the most ambitious projects in Karthi’s career. However, the production house has not released any official statement regarding this speculation.
The film, directed by Tamizh — best known for his critically acclaimed Taanakkaran — promises to deliver a large-scale action drama. Interestingly, Tamizh himself is no stranger to powerful roles, having played the antagonist in Jai Bhim alongside actor Suriya.
Star-Studded Cast
Marshal will also see Kalyani Priyadarshan as the female lead. Veteran actors Sathyaraj, Prabhu, Lal, John Kokken, Easwari Rao, and Murali Sharma have been roped in for pivotal roles, making the cast ensemble one to watch out for.
On the technical side, young composer Sai Abhyankkar will score the music, while celebrated cinematographer Sathyan Sooryan will handle the visuals. Editing will be done by Philomin Raj, known for his crisp cuts, and production design is entrusted to Arun Venjaramoodu.
Produced by Dream Warrior Pictures
The project is being bankrolled by S R Prakash Babu and S R Prabhu under Dream Warrior Pictures, with Ishan Saksena as the co-producer. The makers had earlier teased fans with a poster featuring a ship, sparking speculation about the film’s scale and setting.
Karthi’s Busy Schedule
Meanwhile, Karthi has already wrapped up shooting for Sardar 2, directed by P. S. Mithran. With Marshal lined up next, the actor seems set for another action-packed year in Tamil cinema.
