Karthik Subbaraj’s Test with New Heroes Instead of Stars?

Director Karthik Subbaraj, who has worked with several leading stars, is now taking a different route with his upcoming film ‘Dorothy’. After his recent project ‘Retro’ with Suriya failed to meet expectations, Subbaraj has chosen a new-generation cast for this film. Keerthy Suresh plays the female lead, while Sanand and Rishikanth appear in key roles. The film, with music by Ilaiyaraaja, was recently screened at the Toronto Film Festival and is scheduled to release on September 25.

‘Dorothy’ reportedly revolves around the developments that unfold in the lives of Subbu and Karthi because of Dorothy. While directors such as Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj are collaborating with major stars, Subbaraj is currently focusing on rising actors and independent-style stories. After ‘Dorothy’, he is reportedly planning a Malayalam film based on a real-life story. The attention is now on how ‘Dorothy’ will be received by audiences and whether its response will influence Subbaraj’s future collaborations with established stars.
