The names of superstar Rajinikanth’s blockbuster films hold a certain fascination for young actors.

It seems that our Karthi is also in awe — he has chosen the name of a character made memorable by superstar in one of his cult classics Moondru Mugam for his next.

Yes, Karthi’s film with Suraj, in which he teams up with dusky lady Anushka Shetty, has been titled Alex Pandian — a character name of Rajinikanth in MM in which he plays triple roles.

Rajini essayed a straightforward daring cop Alex Pandian and even Suriya, in an interview to DC, had stated that he took inspiration from Rajini’s immortal police officer role in Moondru Mugam for his cop role in Singham.

Obviously, the name has tremendous value and an inside source reveals that Karthi was highly thrilled to get this title!
