It has been 15 years since actor Karthi made his debut as an actor in the film industry from a family with a cinematic background and has not failed to give experimental domains and commercial success films. The journey that started in ‘Paruthiveeran’ continues as ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ Vandiyathevan.
Actor Karthi celebrates his 45th birthday on May 25.
Apart from ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, ‘Viruman’ and ‘Sardar’ in double roles are available. The film crew has released the first song of ‘Viruman’ on the occasion of actor Karthi’s birthday.
Here is some interesting information about him,
- Karthi was the assistant director to director Mani Ratnam. The man who left college and went to study in the United States with a desire for cinema has returned to India after telling his cinema dream at home. During the filming of ‘Armed Writing’, Karthik got the opportunity to play the role of actor Siddharth for the first time in the film. But for those who turned down the offer, the chances were slim. Weight loss will be followed by fatigue and constant tiredness.
- Karthi’s debut film ‘Paruthiveeran’ became an important film not only for him but also for Tamil cinema. Karthik, who became the hero of the original soil as a flared lungi, bald head and beard, received accolades and many awards for his performance in his debut film. Fifteen years after the film’s release, he has thanked Aamir for making his first film memorable.
3. ” Paruthiveeran ” can only act as a desire. If I do not fall, I can go back to the movement ‘I was just thinking,’ he said with a smile.
4. “It takes an impossible courage to start any of your favorite things. I came to act with such courage. Develop the qualification for it after you start the thing you desire. This is the advice my brother gave me. Then patience is very important for success,” said Karthi.
6. Beginning with ‘Cotton Veeran’, Karthi never hesitated to select experimental story domains such as ‘One in a Thousand’, ‘Piya’, ‘Kashmora’, ‘Madras’, ‘Prisoner’ and rely on newcomer directors to act in the film. In that sense, the story of the films ‘Doha’ and ‘Deeran Adhikaram One’ caught my eye.

7. Karthi was studying engineering at a college in Vandalur. Father Sivakumar sent him to college by bus so that he would know the world. Karthi was happy to share a photo with her friends on the social networking site Pallava spent most of her college days on the bus.
8. Actor Surya has always been the prankster brother who used to tease Karthi all over the house as a child. Actor Sivakumar has shared an incident with BBC Tamil saying that the understanding between the two came only after he grew up. “It was a time when e-mail was growing. I hated you because of my inferiority complex and thought, ‘Don’t be a brother.’ But how dare you go to America. To send the mail, Karthi replied that if it was his brother, it was Surya, “said Sivakumar.

9. Actor Surya’s brother Karthio runs the ‘Agaram Foundation’ to help students in education and runs the ‘Uzhavan Foundation’ for Agriculture and Farmers.
10. Director Mani Ratnam, who came into cinema as an assistant director, is now back in action for the second time after ‘Air Out’. Karthi has played the role of Vandiyadhevan in Mani Ratnam’s dream movie ‘Ponniyin Selvan’. The first part of the film is out this year. It is noteworthy that this is the second time that Karthi has joined hands with Mani Ratnam as one of the directors he has worked with.
