Sai Pallavi reveals reason for signing Karu

Director Vijay reveals to DC that Sai Pallavi of Premam fame had first refused his film Karu.

Director Vijay reveals to DC that Sai Pallavi of Premam fame had first refused his film Karu (Embryo) and that he convinced her to accept the challenging role.
“Karu is an important film in my career. The knot was there in my mind for a very long time. When I discussed with Lyca, they were very keen to make this film and said would wait till whenever I was ready. At a time when Sai Pallavi was turning down many films, I felt she is apt for the lead and approached her. She initially did not accept, but later when I narrated entire script, she realised the significance of her role and intensity of the subject and she agreed. The strength of the movie is Sai Pallavi.”

He elaborated, “Like how I introduced Amy Jackson in Madarasapattinam, Baby Sarah in Deiva Thirumagal, here in Karu I am launching a child named Veronica besides Sai Pallavi. Editor Antony will also be seen in a guest role.” Pallavi, on her part, said, “Tamil audiences have given me a big place and wherever I go they call me ‘Teacher’. Premam’s reach has been so big. My responsibilities grew. So, when I wanted to make my debut in K’town, I was clear that it should be a meaty role. That’s the reason I turned down many Tamil offers. Since Karu’s plot inspired me a lot, I accepted. Vijay has taught me the nuances of acting, especially while emoting.”
