Karthi trolled for comparing Malavika to Monica Bellucci

Karthi's Sardar 2 is releasing on 10 Sep and it stars Malavika Mohanan as the female lead.

Karthi in the promos compared Malavika to Monica Bellucci and netizens started trolling him. Malavika speaking about it, says , “He has spoken to me about this, too. His thoughts on my character and all of that. What he told me was that we’re both playing spies. When we’re undercover and on a mission, we can be dressed as any character. In Mr and Mrs Smith, you’ll see Angelina Jolie doing cool stunts in a skirt and a top and doing flips in heels. Aesthetically, that juxtaposition of doing action while dressed in a very non-action attire.”

He continued “He thought it would be interesting for me to do the stunt sequence in a skirt. Conversations we have had, is this. To take cinematic liberty, so creatively it looks more interesting. He’s so sweet, he’s a gentleman. As heroines, we discuss our experiences with each other. One word that gets used all the time to discuss Suriya sir and Karthi sir is that they’re both such gentlemen. I haven't worked with Suriya sir, but I can vouch for Karthi sir,”

Karthi even joked “I am not James Bond. Because I am a spy in a lungi. Lungi will suit me. Wearing a leather jacket and riding a bike won't suit me. So, I am a jolly character,”

He added “The heroine, Malavika Mohanan, was like Monica Bellucci. I thought they would give her a glamorous costume. It was going to be a great scene. It was going to be a great film. Our fans will enjoy it. Not for me. I asked because my fans will enjoy it. In fact, she brought a costume. I thought it would be like Monica Bellucci. When I asked the director about this, he explained, that's not how my Sara character is.”
