Karthi on having a ‘special’ brother like Suriya

Karthi spoke of how many prefer to have a single child these days, but he was lucky to have Suriya and said, “It’s a special thing to have an older brother. Now, everybody is looking to have a single child, but having an elder brother is very important. That’s why they say that if your father has carried you in your arms, your brother has on his shoulders.”

He also added about the love he received from the film industry due to him, saying, “So, I’m really lucky to have learnt so much from him. They think of our well-being and think of things we aren’t even aware of. When I first came here, when my first film was launched, the whole industry gave me a lot of love. So many people wished me well. Which is why I am encouraging newcomers, too.”

Upcoming work

Suriya debuted as an actor in the film industry with the 1997 film Nerrukku Ner, while Karthi worked as an assistant director and played a small role in the 2004 film Aayutha Ezhuthu before his debut with the 2007 film Paruthiveeran. Most recently, Suriya starred in Siva’s Kanguva and Karthik Subbaraj’s Retro. He will soon star in RJ Balaji’s Karuppu and a yet-to-be-titled film by Venky Atluri.
