Yesteryear Karthik is a handsome hero from the 90s who has turned into character roles and is now helping directors fill up the empty villain roles. There is a huge shortage of villains after Raghuvaran passed way and Prakash Raj may not be the only person to act in every movie.

Anegan showcased Karthik’s talent as a villain and he did a good job of a rich entrepreneur who also has a negative shade. Director Vignesh Sivan is now making Thaana Serndha Kootam with Suriya in which Karthik has changed his looks, body language to portray a new age villain with a grey shade rather than a brutal gangster.
