Gautham Karthik’s Root wraps second schedule
The second shooting schedule for Gautham Karthik’s upcoming sci-fi crime thriller, Root – Running Out of Time, has been successfully wrapped.
The film, directed by debutant Sooriyaprathap S, marks the Tamil debut of Bollywood actor Aparshakti Khurana.
Director Sooriyaprathap, a former associate director of the film Kochadaiiyaan, has described Root as a passion project.
The film aims to be an “edge-of-the-seat” thriller that combines a gripping crime plot with a sci-fi backdrop. Gautham Karthik plays the role of a police officer, a character the director says he chose for the actor’s “powerful presence and depth.”
The film also features Bhavya Trikha and veteran actor Y Gee Mahendran in key roles. The production has progressed smoothly despite Gautham Karthik’s brief hospitalization after the first schedule due to Dengue.
