Career[]

Karthik started his acting career with the TV show, Kana Kaanum Kaalangal Kalooriyin Kadhai (2011-2012), where he essayed the role of Karthikeyan. Kana Kaanum Kaalangal Kalooriyin Kadhai was followed by Ram Vinayak’s Office. He participated in Jodi Number One Season 7 with Nancy Jennifer. He also rendered his voice as a narrator in a short film "Yaanum Neeyum" starring Vetri, his co-actor in K5.

He has acted as a lead actor in the movies 465 [1][2] and Naalu Peruku Nalladhun Edhuvum Thappilla.[3] The films, however, failed in the box office and his performance received mixed reviews. [4]

In 2017, Karthik essayed the role of Adithyaa in the Tamil daily soap Sembaruthi [5] alongside newcomer Shabana Shajahan. The serial made Karthik a household name. In December 2020, however, Karthik Raj was replaced due to unforeseen reasons as quoted in the channel's official statement.[citation needed]

In 2020 Karthik starred in ZEE5's web series Mugilan [6] alongside Ramya Pandian. The web series released on ZEE5's platform on October 30, 2020 to mixed reviews. [7]
