Karthik Sivakumar (born 25 May 1977), best known by his stage name Karthi, is a Tamil film actor. He is the younger son of actor Sivakumar and younger brother of Surya Sivakumar and best known for his performance as the titular character in his debut film Paruthiveeran in 2007, for which he received the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.
Career
Karthik graduated from St. Bede's Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School in Chennai after which he went on to complete his undergrad from the Crescent Engineering College. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering and got a scholarship to the U.S., where he did his masters. He earned a masters degree in Industrial Engineering from the Binghamton University. He later got a job and was working there for some time. He had also done a couple of basic courses in filmmaking.[1]
After returning to India, he got to meet director Mani Ratnam, who initially offered him the role of Arjun (later played by Siddharth Narayan) in the film Aayutha Ezhuthu.[2] But Karthi instead joined him as an assistant director for the same film and its Hindi version Yuva, since he always wanted to become a film director and preferred direction to acting.[3] However, he continued to receive several acting offers. When Ameer Sultan approached him to play the lead role in his film Paruthiveeran, Karthi eventually accepted the offer as the film was "so compelling".[citation needed] The film won the Fimfare Best Tamil Actor Award.[citation needed]
In January 2010, his second film, the Selvaraghavan-directed fantasy adventure film Aayirathil Oruvan, got released. In April 2010, his next project, the romantic action film Paiyaa directed by N. Linguswamy was released. He is currently working on Susindran's second feature film Naan Mahaan Alla and the Tamil remake of the 2006 Telugu film Vikramarkudu.
