Filmmaker Vijay says his upcoming Tamil-Telugu horror drama
"Karu", which features Sai Pallavi in the lead, will talk about the sensitive
topic of abortion.
"The film focuses on the bond between a mother and her
four-year-old daughter. Sai Pallavi plays the mother. The film touches upon the
rarely spoken about issue of abortion. I can't say anything more at the moment,"
Vijay told IANS.
The film marks the Tamil debut of Sai Pallavi, best
known for starring in Malayalam films "Premama and "Kali".
On signing
her, Vijay said: "Ever since I saw 'Premam' and 'Kali', I knew she could pull
off this intense role. In 'Karu', she has done a phenomenal job and audiences
are going to love her."
The film, which has been titled "Kanam" in
Telugu, also stars Naga Shaurya.
"Karu" is currently in post-production.
Meanwhile, Vijay has announced he reunites with Prabhudheva for a
yet-untitled Tamil project.
Remaining tight-lipped about the genre of the
project, he said it will be an interesting film.
The duo had worked
together in last year's Tamil horror hit, "Devi".
