He has also appeared in some Telugu films. Karthik has acted in more than 125 films. He has been the recipient of the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards and the Nandi Award. He won four Filmfare Awards South.[1]

Early life and background

Karthik was born on 13 September 1960 in Chennai to Muthuraman[2] (known as "Navarasa Thilagam"), a popular Tamil film actor in 80's, 90's and 2000's. He has two sons, Gautham and Ghayn, from his first marriage with Ragini, and another son, Thiran, from his second marriage with Rathi.[3]

Film career

Debut and success (1981-1986)

Karthik was first introduced by Bharathiraja in the film Alaigal Oivathillai (1981). He received the Best New Face Award from the Tamil Nadu Government in 1981. He collaborated with leading film directors such as Mani Ratnam, K. Balachander, Bharathiraja, Visu, R. Sundarrajan, Ameerjan, R. V. Udayakumar, Priyadarshan, Fazil, Vikraman, Agathiyan, Sundar C., K. S. Ravikumar, P. Vasu and K. V. Anand.

During the earlier stages of his career, Karthik worked three times with R. V. Udaya Kumar and enjoyed great success in all their ventures. Later, he formed a partnership with Goundamani in many comedy films. He was also well received by the Tamil audience for his performance in Nallavanukku Nallavan (1984) in a challenging role against Rajinikanth. Karthik during the early to mid 80s did many films and some of them like Ninaivellam Nithya (1982), Agaya Gangai (1982), itto do variety of roles but many of the films till 1986 like Bhagavathipuram Railway Gate (1983), Pei Veedu (1984) and Raja Thanthiram (1984) were typical low budget masala films. His onscreen pair with Radha was appreciated in the 80s. His cameo in Mouna Ragam (1986) was very well received by the audience.[4] The film, which made many women fall in love with Karthik. The film which gave Tamil industry an actor of extraordinary talent, an actor of immense artistry and one who was a natural performer. This film not only catapulted Karthik to fame but even he would admit, it made him re-think his choice of films and also instilled confidence and belief that he had what is required as an actor to succeed.[5]

Golden years (1987-1991)

A golden period in the career of Karthik, one witnessed numerous performance-oriented films. Vanna Kanavugal (1987), the film was a received a super hit box office, and K. Balachander praised him for his performance in the film.[6] Karthik collaborated with several leading directors and gave several successful films. He acted in Telugu film Abhinandana (1988), where he wins the Nandi Special Jury Award. Followed by Agni Natchathiram (1988) co-starred with Prabhu. The film is directed by Mani Ratnam. The high point of Ratnam's association with Ilaiyaraaja. Agni Natchathiram's songs captured the story's essence. In 'Raja Rajadhi Rajan Indha Raja', Ilaiyaraaja brings an American electro sting to the beats, reminiscent of bands such as Newcleus that were storming the charts in the '80s. An almost school-boyish Prabhu Deva is seen dancing in the group behind Karthik in the song.[7] Followed by successful films like, Varusham Padhinaaru (1989), Idhaya Thamarai (1990), Kizhakku Vasal (1990) and culminating in the black comedy Gopura Vasalile (1991).

Ups and downs (1992-1995)

A period of ups and terrible downs. Also, the period when Karthik took considerable risks in choosing film scripts. Amaran (1992), – an action film where Karthik plays an orphan who eventually becomes a don. When it released, it performed below expectations but with time has attained cult status with the song sung by Karthik becoming a huge rage during the last 10 years. 'Vethala Potta Sokkula', One of the few super hit songs that Aadhithyan tuned. Sung by Karthik himself in his signature style very similar to his dialogue delivery, the song is a 'love at first sight' kind. Its simplicity and very hummable lyrics is what endeared it to many when it was first released.[8] Nadodi Thendral (1992), – a period film helmed by Bharatiraja. This was a huge risk during the 1990s when typical four-song and four-fight films ruled the roost. Karthik acting was a revelation in the triangular love story. Ponnumani (1993), – a village-based melodrama. First one for Karthik. Performance wise everyone did their bit but in terms of acting skills, not much was required through the film was hugely successful. Karthik also spent a considerable amount of time shooting for a Telugu film co-starring Vijayashanti in Maga Rayudu (1994). This period also witnessed huge disasters like Marumagan (1995), Chakravarthy (1995), Nandhavana Theru (1995) and an average success Thotta Chinungi (1995).

Breakout and Consolidation years (1996-1999)

One after another success in addition to laurels for acting. This was the year of Karthik, Kizhakku Mugam (1996), a good review but he received another breakthrough in his career by performing a full-length comedy role in Sundar C's Ullathai Allitha (1996), alongside Rambha and Goundamani, then collaborated with the director again in another profitable venture, Mettukudi (1996). He went on to win critical acclaim for his role in Gokulathil Seethai (1996). This was undoubtedly the film of the year. Performance of Karthik was on a different level, the nuances, the pause, the dialogue delivery, the body language, emotions through eyes, - This was an artist who was at his very best and whose artistry had no peers. He appeared in K. S. Ravikumar's Pistha (1997), which also won good reviews. Karthik carried on his good streak at the box office in 1998, while also winning accolades for his performances in Vikraman's Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen (1998) (100th film), Cheyyar Ravi's Harichandra (1998) and Selva's Pooveli (1998), and won a Tamil Nadu State Award for Best Actor.[9][10] In 1999, he played drama films like Chinna Raja, Nilave Mugam Kaattu, Anandha Poongatre, Suyamvaram and Rojavanam. He acted in medium-budget comedy films, notably in four further Sundar C ventures including the successful Blockbuster film, Unakkaga Ellam Unakkaga (1999). His pairing with Rambha was a hit with the audience as the pair provided good hits in the 1990s.

Downfall begins (2000-2001)

During the early 2000s, Karthik experienced a difficult period as he began to lose his popularity at the box office and new actors began to emerge in the Tamil film industry. He subsequently signed on to appear in several films, which were either dropped, shelved or indefinitely postponed during the period. His career as a lead actor subsequently began to dwindle in the early 2000s, with several of his ventures opening with little publicity or being delayed after financial troubles.[11] Many family films came but nothing different were noticed or not one performance to be talked about Thai Poranthachu (2000), Sandhitha Velai (2000), Kannan Varuvaan (2000), Kuberan (2000) and Seenu (2000) . Films including Prabhu Nepal's Kadhale Swasam, alongside Meena, Sundar C's Kadhal Solla Vandhen, with Isha Koppikar and Gowri Manohar's Kashmir, with Priyanka Trivedi, had audio release events but failed to have a theatrical release.[12][13] Likewise, other ventures including Mahesh's Manathil, alongside Kausalya, Soundarrajan's Click, co-starring Prabhu and Selva's Kai Korthu Vaa progressed before being halted.[14][15] Similarly, other projects in the early 2000s, such as Gurudeva, with Rimjim; Muthalaam Santhippil with Kausalya again and Enrum Unnai Naesippaen were dropped soon after filming had begun.[16][17][18] In 2001, his films were Ullam Kollai Poguthae, Lovely and comedy film Azhagana Naatkal.

Years in wilderness (2002-2007)

He starred in action film, Devan with Vijayakanth and Arun Pandian, followed by Game. During the nadir of 2002, Karthik was signed on by producer Keyaar to make a film titled Enna Peyar Veikalaam, directed by Vincent Selva. Despite travelling to Pollachi for the shoot, the actor refused to emerge from his hotel room, and following an extended period of confusion, the film was called off and the Nadigar Sangam began legal proceedings against the actor.[19][20] He acted in the crime film, Indru (2003). The film was a disaster.

Towards the nadir of 2005, he signed on to appear in a negative role in Sathyaraj's Sivalingam IPS, but the film was shelved.[21] In 2004, Karthik suggested that "his acts and habits" had landed him in trouble and was looking to make a comeback.[22] He subsequently appeared in "comeback" films such as Kusthi (2006) and Kalakkura Chandru (2007), both of which had delayed releases and went unnoticed at the box office.[22] Other ventures that the actor described as "comeback projects", such as Kicha's Unnidathil and Raj Kapoor's Sivalingam IPS, were shelved mid-production.[23][24] Later in 2006, he revealed that he had quit taking drugs and was keen to make another attempt at returning to the film industry.[25]

Renewal (2010-2013)

Karthik opted to make a comeback into acting in 2010 and chose to appear in supporting rather than leading roles, much like his contemporaries Prabhu and Sathyaraj. He was first seen portraying a caring police officer in Maanja Velu, before winning positive reviews for his small role as a forest guard in Mani Ratnam's Raavanan.[26] He subsequently went on to play roles in P. Vasu's Puli Vesham (2011) and the Telugu film Om 3D (2013), both of which failed at the box office.

Revival and comeback (2015-present)

He also acted in a negative role in K. V. Anand's Anegan, where he appears alongside Dhanush.[27] He acted with Suriya in Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018), and his son Gautham Karthik in Mr. Chandramouli (2018). He appeared as guest appearance in the action film, Dev (2019) with the actor Karthi.

Political career

Karthik entered politics ahead of the 2006 Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly election. He joined the All India Forward Bloc and was appointed as the Secretary of the Tamil Nadu state unit of the party. He led the party during its electoral campaign on 24 September 2006. He later started his own party Ahila India Naadalum Makkal Katchi in 2009 before the Lok Sabha Elections. He contested from Virudhunagar constituency and got only 15000 votes. He again started another party named Manitha Urimaigal Kaakkum Katchi on 15 December 2018 at Tirunelveli before Lok saba elections and he expressed his support to AIADMK alliance.

2011 Assembly elections

Karthik's party tried an alliance with AIADMK for the 2011 Assembly elections,[28] but AIADMK supremo denied tickets for his party. Karthik announced his party will contest alone in 25 to 40 seats after it was not allotted any seat in the AIADMK coalition.[29] Karthik sat on a fast in Madurai demanding Madurai Airport be renamed as Pasumpon Thevar Airport.[30][31] His party with sizeable Thevar votes in southern Tamil Nadu is believed to eat into the AIADMK votebank. In 2006, former AIADMK minister Nainar Nagendran lost by 2,000 votes in Tirunelveli, where Karthik's party polled more than the margin. Two weeks later, he split from ADMK and announced his party will contest independently in 19 constituencies and support DMK in 213 constituencies.[32]
