Karthi, the reigning star in Kollywood, has offered some of the most memorable movies to Tamil cinephiles. The actor, who debuted with the romantic action film Paruthiveeran, went on to star in multiple hit projects. In 2023, the actor gave one of his finest performances as Vallavaraiyan in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan. But following that success, the actor faced a major blow with the failure of his heist comedy Japan in the same year. 

With several exciting projects and sequels to his own films in the pipeline, the actor promises to make a strong comeback in 2024. Meanwhile, let's look at some of the must-watch films you can now stream on Sun NXT that are also available on OTTplay Premium:
