Kajal Aggarwal, after a hiatus following the birth of her son, has returned to Telugu cinema with a bang, starring in the successful film “Bhagavanth Kesari.” Despite her triumphs, not all her projects have been met with the same acclaim, as seen with the Tamil release “Karungaapiyam,” which flopped upon its release on May 19, 2023.
However, her fans need not despair as “Karungaapiyam” has been dubbed into Telugu under the title “Kajal Karthika,” and is now available for streaming on Aha. This horror thriller features Kajal Aggarwal in the lead role, alongside a talented cast including Regina Cassandra, Janani, Raiza Wilson, and Iranian actress Noyrika.
Directed by Deekay, “Kajal Karthika” follows the story of a girl who faces torment from her villagers and returns as a vengeful ghost. Despite receiving praise for Kajal’s performance, the film’s outdated narrative led to its lackluster performance at the box office. Nonetheless, Aha sees potential in the film and believes it will cater to horror enthusiasts.
The OTT platform acquired the rights for “Kajal Karthika” at a minimal cost, making it an affordable addition to their library. With Prasad SN’s captivating music and a stellar ensemble cast, Aha hopes to captivate audiences with this eerie tale of revenge.
Looking ahead, Kajal Aggarwal has an exciting lineup, including roles in “Indian 2,” a cop drama titled “Satyabhama,” and the Hindi film “Uma.” Additionally, rumors suggest she may join Nagarjuna in an upcoming project, promising fans more entertainment to look forward to.
