His profile already boasted of a strong filmy
background. His father ruled the Tamil screens in the yesteryears
and his sibling being one of the reigning stars of today. However,
debut film Paruthiveeran was not quite a cakewalk for Karthi.
The movie ran into myriad troubles right from the day it hit the
floors and faced abandonment when the producer decided to call
it a day much before the shoots ended. Director Amir had conviction
over his project and bailed out the movie by taking over the mantle.
Paruthiveeran did not wrong his conviction and thus a star was
born from the Sivakumar stable. Karthi fitted the shoes of a rustic
village hillbilly perfectly and is now tackling the beeline of
producers at his doorsteps. Supremely talented with a stable head
– watch out for this guy.
