Lingusamy to work with Karthi, Vishal next year

Filmmaker Lingusamy, who had a mixed 2014 with hits and misses, has his hands full in 2015 with projects each with actors Karthi and Vishal Krishna Reddy. The pre-production work on both the projects has already started.

Lingusamy has worked with Karthi and Vishal earlier.

"Following the grand success of 'Paiyya', I will be teaming up with Karthi in a project. A newcomer will be playing the female lead and details about others in the cast will be finalised and confirmed shortly," Lingusamy said in a statement.

"Soon after this project, I will start working with Vishal in 'Sandakozhi 2', which will be released in Telugu as well," he said.

In 2014, Lingusamy-directed Tamil actioner "Anjaan" turned out to be a dud, but as a producer he was quite successful with films such as "Ivan Vera Mathiri" and "Goli Soda".
