I thought its for an assistant director – Gautham Karthik



Gautham Karthik, son of actor Karthik and hero of Mani Ratnam’s Kadal has revealed as to how he landed upon the role. Gautham who has been pursing his studies in Christ University, Bangalore was asked by his father to meet Mani Ratnam. Gautham says that he was aware that Mani Ratnam was looking for assistant directors and whenever he met the ace director he used to tell some portion of the story. However, one day Mani Ratnam asked him to do an audition and then only he realised that he has been considered for the lead role.
Due to Mani Ratnam’s strict instructions, he has to cut short on his public appearances and he even dismantled his band, where he was a lead guitarist and back up vocalist.
On the long schedules the team shot in sea, the youngster says that his father used to tell him that he was a water baby and that helped him.
