Profession
In 2013, Gautham Kartik made his debut in Mani Ratnam’s film Kadal, where he played the lead role of Thomas; however, the film failed. Gautham Karthik in an interview talked about his experience of working in Kadal and said,
Everyone thought the movie would be a hit and I would become a star overnight. Unfortunately, although some people liked it, it didn’t perform as well as we expected. But I learned a lot about the process of making a movie. For example, Rajeev Menon would discuss camera angles, lenses and how to light the frame with me in detail. When I was dubbing for the film, Mani Ratnam would tell me how he would edit the film. In hindsight, I feel like I got a lot out of this movie. ”

dispute
In 2017, Gautham Kartik was heavily criticized by some netizens after he made comments about South Indian actor Rajinikanth’s political journey. According to sources, Gautham talked about Rajinikanth and said he should focus on films and not enter politics. However, according to Gautham, his comments were misunderstood by Rajinikanth’s fans. Later, he posted a video on Twitter to clarify his remarks about Rajinikanth. Gautham said in the video, “There is a controversy based on my recent statement. I would like to say that this is a complete misunderstanding.” I was asked whether I supported Mr. Rajinikanth’s entry into politics. I replied that I didn’t understand politics and that I just wanted to see him as a superstar. However, my statement was taken out of context and misunderstood because I did not support his statement. I am here just to be a part of movies and I love watching Rajinikanth sir’s movies. ”

- According to Gautham, initially he never thought of pursuing a career in acting. Gautham spoke about the incident in an interview and said that before making his acting debut, he had a fear of facing the camera. He said,
To be honest, I never thought I would be an actor one day. Although I come from a film background, I’ve never been attracted to film, probably because I’ve never been comfortable with a camera. So when my father told me that Mr. Mani Ratnam wanted to meet me, I thought I would assist him. But then he asked me to audition for the lead role and he ended up casting me. I couldn’t believe it because I thought I would be really uncomfortable in front of the camera. But, you know what, the wait before the first shot made me even more nervous.
- He is a fitness fanatic. He often shares photos of himself post-workout on social media.
