Indian actor Karthik Sivakumar, professionally known as Karthi, is a name that needs no introduction. The actor, who was most recently seen in the Mani Ratnam magnum opus `Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1`, considers the director his mentor and was ready to take up any role in the film - even of a horse - because he didn`t want to miss his chance of working with the director who is known for films like `Roja`, `Bombay`, `Guru` and `Yuva` among several others.
Sharing his thoughts on `Ponniyin Selvan: Part 1` and how he was cast, he said: "`Ponniyan Selvan`, the name itself has a huge identity for the Tamil Diaspora. People have owned this novel (the film is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by author Kalki) and resonated with its characters. The particular book has been relevant for a long time, is still having massive fandom and is a best seller with exhibitions every year."
