Gautham's Gangster: Arya or Karthi

Gautham Menon recently held a discussion with Arya about a prospective project and the actor was also impressed with the storyline that he agreed to be a part of it. Sources say that it is gangster subject that Gautham intends to touch upon and initially narrated the story to Telugu star Rana Daggubati. But the actor’s inability to take up the offer for want of dates forced Gautham to shelve the project in Telugu.

Then it was decided to make the film in Tamil and Gautham approached Karthi and Arya. The latest we hear from the director’s camp is that either Arya or Karthi may be signed up for this film.
