Most successful hero of the year is Karthi

Karthi Sivakumar, the rough and tough hero of Paruthi Veeran, had an successful 2010. Karthi had three releases this year—Aayirathil Oruvan, Paiyya and Naan Mahaan Alla—and all of them turned out to be hits. Looks like the actor is on a dream run and could not have asked for anything better.

In 2011, the actor will be seen in an out-and-out masala entertainer with Siruthai (releasing on January 14). He plays two different characters: a cop and a thief in this formula film targeting the mass audiences. Siruthai is a remake of Vikramarkudu, but director Siva has reworked the film to suit the taste of our audiences. According to the director, the film is not a scene-by-scene remake; a lot has been changed in the first half.
