'Biriyani': Director Venkat Prabhu - Karthi's next!

And it's official!

After the stupendous success of 'Mankatha' Venkat Prabhu will be teaming up with Karthi Sivakumar for 'Biriyani'! The film will feature Karthi in the lead role along with a host of stars including Premgi Amaren and several others.

While 'Chennai 28' dealt about cricket, 'Saroja' about the kidnap of a school tot and 'Mankatha' on heist of cricket betting money, this film will deal with a whole new issue, an unexplored plot line.

'Biriyani' will go on floors come August and will bear the tagline, 'A Venkat Prabhu Diet'.

With music by Yuvan Shankar Raja the film will have Venkat Prabhu's usual technical team including Sakthi Saravanan for cinematography, Stunt Silva and editing by Praveen KL.
