Siva Karthikeyan wants to do what Madhavan did

As Siva Karthikeyan gears up for his next release Maan Karate, directed by debutant Thirukumaran, he says he is ready to take slow but sure steps to diversify the roles he plays. So far he has been slotted to roles of 'funny everyday guy', and he feels Maan Karate is the first step to unshackle that image. In a recent interview, he said, “I will attempt to perform a variety of roles in my own pace – something like what Madhavan did in Run.”
 

In Maan Karate, he plays Royapuram Peter who falls in love with Yazhini (Hansika Motwani). The movie has music composed by Anirudh, and AR Murugadoss has written its story.
