As South Indian cinema continues to captivate audiences worldwide, one name that stands out for his versatility. Karthi Sivakumar, born on May 25, 1977. The actor has carved a niche for himself in the Tamil film industry, delighting fans with a blend of entertaining roles .

A Star is Born

Karthi hails from a family deeply rooted in the film industry. He is the younger brother of actor Suriya and the son of actor Sivakumar. Despite his family’s strong ties to cinema, Karthi’s journey into acting was not a straightforward path. Initially, he pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering and even worked in the United States before his passion for cinema drew him back to India.
