Karthi on Suriya’s Character in Vikram: ​”I Saw Him as a Villain a Long Time ‌Ago”

Suriya and Karthi are Tamil star brothers who have made a name for themselves ‌in the​ film⁢ industry. Suriya had to face ‌criticism for his acting in his earlier films, but he later⁣ became one⁤ of ⁣the top Tamil actors. ‌Karthi also made his debut in the film world with Paruthiveeran, directed⁤ by Aamir, and made his ‍mark‍ in a short span⁣ of time.

Vikram, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has ushered ⁢in a new cinematic universe in Tamil. Suriya’s role‍ as Rolex ⁣at the end of the film was celebrated in ‍a big way. With the reference to Karthi’s Kaiti in Vikram, it is certain that the two‌ will come face⁢ to ​face in the⁣ next film of this universe. Karthi’s words on the‍ role of Rolex are​ now viral on ‍social media.

Karthi said that he was not told ⁤much⁣ about the character in the film Vikram, and Suriya gave only a little hint. But after watching the film, Karthi added that he understood that ⁢it was such a role and when he saw him on screen with a knife, he felt that it was on‌ a different ⁣level. However, Karthi said ⁢that many people are seeing the evilness of Suriya ⁣now,⁤ and he grew up watching him from a young age.

‘Like everyone⁣ else, I loved the role of Rolex. I was just told, “Lokesh called, there’s a small program.” I realized that’s the case when I saw the film. The delivery​ of that knife and the delivery of the subsequent​ dialogue were on⁢ a⁤ different level when⁤ I saw it ‍in​ the theater.’

A lot of ⁤people ask me in⁣ interviews, how did you feel when you saw Suriya as a villain for the first time? It just feels fresh when you see the evilness of Bully. I grew up watching him since childhood. ‌Rolex hasn’t even ‌reached half that level,” Karthi said.
