Actor Karthi, who plays a pilot in filmmaker Mani Ratnam's yet-untitled romantic drama, is currently undergoing a crash course in flying. "Karthi is learning the basics of flying, which includes even simple things like how to be seated while in the pilot's seat. It will be a two-three weeks crash course and upon completion, the makers will finally take the film on the floors," said a source from the film's unit.
Karthi plays an NRI in the film. He falls in love while on a trip to India with a doctor (played by Aditi Rao Hydari). The regular shooting of the project is supposed to start from June, and the team is targeting a year-end release. Produced by Ratnam's Madras Talkies, the film will have music by AR Rahman and cinematography by Ravi Varman.
