When Kamal Haasan, the shrewd judge of men and matters singles out a performer to be special, he or she will certainly be.
Karan, whom he gave a big break in Nammavar, certainly is.
After hovering in the middle range and out of it too, Karan came back strongly as a hero with Kokki.
It was a movie that gave him a new perspective and now Karan is ready to challenge new frontiers of excellence.
His next movie is Thee Nagar where he plays an incendiary youth. He was so involved in the project that he was laid low with an accident. Karan took that in his stride.
Karan who has lost a lost of weight is also doing another interesting film. Titled Karuppasamy Kuthagaikarar, it is directed by Moorthy.
A new Mumbai girl who has been christened Meenakshi is the heroine.
Karan, who says the film has a rare humor, speaks Madurai dialect and his portions with Vadivelu are expected to be the talk of the town.
