Kollywood actor Karthi has teamed up with director PS Mithran for an upcoming Tamil movie. The title and first-look motion poster of the movie were unveiled by the makers on Sunday. Touted to be an action-entertainer, the film has been titled Sardar. Karthi, who likely plays the titular character, is seen in the avatar of an old man, donning a teal shirt, in the motion poster of the film.

Sardar is currently in the production phase. Actor Raashi Khanna, who made her Kollywood debut with the 2018 movie Imaikkaa Nodigal and Karnan fame Rajisha Vijayan will also be seen in prominent roles in the movie.

Sharing the intriguing motion-poster on Sunday, April 25, with fans on Twitter, Karthi wrote, "Excited to be joining hands with @Psmithran on this biggie. Revealing the first look for you all. Lots of love! (sic)."
