Take a look at the full post here:
In an exclusive interview with DT Next, Terumi Kakubari Fujieda elaborated how she started watching Karthi's films. She said, "When I was in Chennai , I watched Tamil films. I immediately liked Karthi. I have watched Karthi several times. Since Tamil is a totally different language, I follow subtitles. Being Japanese, English subtitles are also difficult to follow. So, only when a DVD with Japanese subtitles was released, I bought it and ended up watching it often. It would be really grateful and helpful if Tamil films release in our country with Japanese subtitles.”
Terumi Kakubari Fujieda also revealed to DTR Next that she had come to Chennai just for three days to watch Ponniyin Selvan 2. The fans have left India for Japan on Monday night.
