Biography :
When Karthi returned to India, he met director Mani Ratnam, who offered him the role of Arjun (later played by Siddharth) in the filmAayutha Ezhuthu.[5] He declined the offer and worked as an assistant director on the same film and its Hindi version Yuva because he wanted to become a film director and preferred directing to acting.[7] He continued to receive acting offers and his father convinced him to take up acting, telling him " ... one can always direct films but one will not get a chance to act once you grow older".[5] He accepted his first acting assignment in April 2005.[8][9] When Ameer Sultan approached him to play the titular character in the film Paruthiveeran, he accepted the offer because the film was " ... so compelling".[7] The film was released in July 2005 and experienced financial difficulties,[10][11] and was almost abandoned by mid–2006.[12] It was released in January 2007, to critical acclaim and became commercially successful.[13]
Critics unanimously praised Karthi's portrayal of a careless village rowdy. Behindwoods said: "He has done away with every trace of sophistication in his body language and even handles the sickle with consummate ease. He looks every inch a hot blooded youngster from some rural part of Tamil Nadu [and] appears seasoned in the romantic scenes ... Uninformed people might not believe that this is the young man’s big screen debut. Look out for this guy ... ".[14] Sify said: "It’s hard to believe that it is Karthi’s debut film as he is just spectacular. His expressions, anger, laughter and anguish are all so realistic that you can feel the fire in him."[15] Rediff called his performance "excellent",[16] and " ... one of the top performances of 2007".[17] Karthi received several accolades for his performance, including the Filmfare Award for Best Actor in Tamil.
