Karthick Naren, Arun Vijay’s gangster drama titled Mafia

They also revealed the first look poster and the title of the film. Titled Mafia, Arun Vijay plays a suave gangster. Talking about the film to DTNext, Karthick says, “I discussed this project with Arun after Thadam and he immediately agreed to do the film.

Moreover, he gave me the creative freedom and has cooperated well with the pre-production part. Like Arun Vijay, Lyca too gave me the creative freedom. They have been into content-oriented films of late and they liked Mafia’s storyline and allocated the budget that the script requires.”

The filmmaker said that it is too early to talk about the script. “When I titled it Mafia, there were questions on whether the film will have a foreign setting. The story is set in Chennai and will be shot in the city. Moreover, it is a gangster drama that doesn’t talk about gangs in North Chennai. This will portray Chennai in a different way on how the mafia will operate with the city as a hub,” he added. The rest of the cast and crew will be announced soon by the makers. On Naragasooran, Karthick said, “I hope the problems pertaining to Naragasooran end soon and the film sees light of the day.”
