Arya Turns Karthi's Trainer

Ace director Mani Ratnam is grabbing headlines for the casting coup of his next project, which will have Karthy and Bollywood actress Aditi in the lead. 

Karthi will be playing the role of a pilot in this flick, which will be shot predominantly in Kashmir. 

The director has apparently asked Karthi to shed 10 kilos for the film. We hear that Karthi's good friend Arya, who is a fitness freak, for training tips.

AR Rahman is the music director while Ravi Varman will take care of the lens.
