Nagarjuna looks younger than me: Karthi

Tamil star Karthi was never keen to be a part of multi-starrers, unless the film had an extremely amazing story. "I have always maintained that I do not want to do multi-starrers. I was determined not to do one, unless a film like, say, Sivaputrudu came along, where there were two lead characters in the film. And Oopiri was one such story for me. But added to that, I said yes to the film because I would get to work with Nagarjuna. He looks younger than me in this film," says the actor who is all praise for the Telugu star.

"I observed him during the film's shoot and found him to be a meticulous worker. He is very regular with his workouts and maintains a strict diet. His schedule is disciplined — he goes to bed early and wakes up early. But then, his positive attitude is also a reason he is physically fit. A happy mind means a healthy body, isn't it?," he says, adding, "He is very relaxed on the set. Until now, I have only heard about the 'live in the moment' attitude, but I got to see that in him. It was great working with him."
Oopiri, the remake of French film The Intouchables, sees Nagarjuna play a rich quadriplegic and Karthi as his caretaker.
