Career

Despite the commercial failure of Sishya, Karthik chose to collaborate with Selva again in Pooveli and the film became a large commercial success. The success of the film subsequently brought him several offers including the opportunity to make a third film with Karthik in Rojavanam, a romantic love story set in the backdrop of an old people's home. He also shortly after planned a project titled Nanba with Arjun, which ultimately failed to materialise.[3]
