Actor Karthi, who is ruling the roost in south film industry, is all likely to sign a film with Studio green and the director is none other than Shanthakumar, who made heads turned with his debut venture 'Mounaguru'!

After the success of 'Mounaguru' every top hero wanted to do a film with director Shanthakumar, but the director maintained a low-profile and was concentrating only in writing his next script. While the director was preparing for his next, Gnanavelraja of Studio green approached him for doing a film for his production house, the director also, it seems, accepted the offer.

Studio green was already planning a film with Surya or Karthi in the lead, but as Surya is jam packed with films Karthi is all likely to do the film.

The production house is arranging a meet of Shanthakumar and Karthi for script discussion and if Karthi is convinced with the script then it is him the next hero of Shanthakumar.
