Suriya Celebrates Karthi’s Journey From US to Paruthiveeran Stardom
Suriya and Karthi are brothers who are both famous Tamil actors.
Suriya said he feels more like a father to Karthi than just a brother.
Karthi studied engineering in the United States before becoming interested in movies.
He returned to India and first worked as an assistant director.
His big acting debut came in the film Paruthiveeran.
Suriya said Karthi changed his entire look and body for that role.
Suriya also joked that fans often ask him about Karthi instead of asking about him.
Karthi’s new movie Sardar 2 is scheduled to release worldwide on September 10.
Suriya said Paruthiveeran was the first film that truly stunned him with Karthi’s talent.
Karthi returned from studying Industrial Engineering at Binghamton University in New York before pursuing cinema.
He declined an acting role in Mani Ratnam’s Aayutha Ezhuthu and instead worked as an assistant director.

Suriya
Tamil actor and Karthi’s elder brother
“The first time I was truly stunned was during Paruthiveeran. That’s where it all started. When he came back from the USA, you know those huge rice bags? He would eat chips in the USA to the point where he became almost the size of a rice sack.”
