Even before the release of Mani Ratinam's Kadal, the film's lead pair are on the top slot in the Woods. Gautham Karthik, son of veteran hero Karthik and Thulasi Nair younger daughter of another yesteryear heroine Radha, are going places.

The older pair, also debuted in the same film, years ago, were a hot pair and scaled peaks in Tollywood and Kollywood equally.

The younger pair also seems to be following the same route. The actual release of this bilingual (in Telugu as Kadali) is just days away, but the lead pair are already most sought after.

Thulasi whose images were kept away till the film's first look released by the crew, became a rage on social network.

Especially her maiden lip lock with the hero seems to be the topic of filmnagar. However this has been the point that has aided her career.

It also gave green signals to the producers about her 'dare' bare instincts, which eventually made them beeline to her residence, with lucrative proposals.

The news is that Thulasi will now romance her sister's friend Jiiva in her next film and she seems to be most excited about the same.

Jiiva and Karthika (Radha's eldest daughter) acted together in Ko (Rangam in Telugu) which was a sensational hit in both the languages.
