He next played a pivotal role in Anitha Udeep's college campus-thriller Kulir 100° (2009), and was selected after his cousin Bobo Shashi, the film's music composer, recommended him for the film.[1] He has since won acclaim for his role in Kaadhal Solla Vandhen (2010) and the Telugu film Thakita Thakita, with a critic from Rediff.com noting "with his antics and one-liners, [he] sets the aisles rolling in laughter".[2] Karthik predominantly appears as a supporting comedian, but plays one of the multiple leads in Burma and Mahabalipuram.
