Kara is a Dhanush-starrer village crime drama directed by Vignesh Raja. The trailer has sparked strong interest among audiences, and the casting of Mamitha Baiju has become a major talking point.
However, Mamitha Baiju was not the first choice for the role. According to Vignesh Raja, Chaitra J Achar was initially finalised as the female lead. She was later replaced due to her similar traditional look in My Lord, which was scheduled for an earlier release and stars Sasikumar.
Following this, Mamitha Baiju, known for her bubbly roles, was approached and she surprisingly agreed to take on the part. It will be interesting to see how she adapts to this more intense, rooted character.
The film is set for April 30 release. It also features Suraj Venjaramoodu, Jayaram, KS Ravikumar, and Karunas in key roles. Kara is produced by Ishari K. Ganesh under the banner Vels Film International, with Kushmitha Ganesh as co-producer. The music is composed by GV Prakash Kumar.
