Director Karthick Naren garnered attention from the audience through his first film, Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru. He later went on to do Naragasooran, his second directorial venture with Arvind Swami, Indrajith Sukumaran, Shriya Saran, Sundeep Kishan and Aathmika. Unfortunately the film is yet to see its light of the day due to financial hurdles. However, Karthick moved on to his next, Mafia, an intense action thriller starring Arun Vijay, Prasanna, and Priya Bhavanishankar in lead roles. Bankrolled by Lyca Productions, this film is right now in the post production stages gearing up for its release.

The latest news is that this film's yet to be released teaser has impressed none other than Superstar Rajinikanth. Yes! Karthick Naren got the special opportunity to meet Rajinikanth at his in Poes Gardens, where Mafia's teaser was shown to him. As we know, Rajinikanth is someone who never fails to appreciate young and upcoming talents and on that note, he did not miss out to wish Karthick.

According to the director's tweet, Rajinikanth said, "Brilliant work kanna. semaya irukku." When the legend himself gives a green signal to the teaser, it has automatically raised the expectations among the fans and the audience. Arun Vijay and Prasanna, the lead actors of Mafia, also shared their happiness through their respective tweets.
