As an ardent fan of Tamil cinema, I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing the meteoric rise of Karthi, a man who embodies not just talent but also resilience and determination. Born into the illustrious Sivakumar family, he chose to carve his own path, leaving behind the safety net of engineering for the unpredictable world of showbiz.
Karthi has been generating buzz online following his brief appearance in the movie “Kanguva,” starring Suriya. In this film, he plays the son of Bobby Deol’s character, and their confrontation is set up during the final scene, hinting at a thrilling showdown in the upcoming sequel. As we delve deeper into his role in “Kanguva 2,” let’s first get to know more about Karthi.
Who is Karthi?
Born on May 25, 1977, Karthi (also known as Karthik Sivakumar) was brought into the world by famed actor Sivakumar and his spouse Lakshmi. He is Suriya’s younger brother and they also have a sister named Brindha. After finishing his education in Chennai, the actor ventured into mechanical engineering before transitioning to become a consultant. However, feeling uninspired by his repetitive work schedule, he left his job and journeyed to the United States for further education.
During his time in New York, Karthi held a part-time position as a graphic designer. However, he had ambitions for a career in filmmaking, so he enrolled in two courses offered by the State University of New York.
In the thrill of my ardor for cinema, when I found myself back in my beloved city, fate conspired to introduce me, none other than me, to the legendary Mani Ratnam. This encounter was nothing short of serendipitous, as it led to an unparalleled opportunity: working as his assistant director on the 2004 masterpiece, Aayutha Ezhuthu. In this cinematic marvel, Suriya graced the screen as the leading man. Little did I know that my heart yearned not just for the director’s chair, but also to embody characters in the stories I longed to tell. This experience ignited a passion within me that transcended roles; I found myself torn between directing and acting, each role beckoning me with its own allure.
Ever since I caught wind of Karthi’s electrifying debut in Paruthiveeran back in 2007, I’ve been hooked! After the smashing success of that movie, he graced our screens with captivating performances in films like Paiyaa, Naan Mahaan Alla, Madras, Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru, Kaithi, Thambi, Ponniyin Selvan: I, Sardar, and most recently, Ponniyin Selvan: II. Needless to say, I eagerly await each new project he takes on!
Discussing his private affairs, Karthi married Ranjani Chinnasamy way back in 2011. Together they’ve welcomed a daughter named Umayal and a son named Kandhan into their family.
About Karthi’s cameo in Kanguva
At the peak of Kanguva’s storyline, Karthi unexpectedly emerges as Bobby Deol’s character’s secret son. He suddenly shows up to seize the throne, sporting a powerful tribal aesthetic. Remarkably, Karthi is present in two different time periods within the film. Currently, he’s portrayed as the head of a research team focusing on brains. Although it’s anticipated that Karthi and Suriya will face off in Kanguva 2, the creators have not yet announced Karthi’s role in the sequel.
Currently, Karthi is working on a number of exciting upcoming movies such as Kaithi 2, Vaa Vaathiyaar, Sardar 2, among others.
