Career[]

2007-2010: Dance and acting debut[]

Shree Karthick started off his dance career with Swingers Dance Company, a dance company based out of Chennai, which he had joined at a young age. He became a senior company dancer there and began teaching other students. Upon graduating from there, he left to pursue his engineering degree. In his first year, a dance reality show Attam Pattam was announced, to be aired on Kalaignar TV. Karthick decided to participate and earned great appraisal from the judges for his expressive style of dance before eventually becoming the title winner.[7] He then received an offer from another dance reality show Jodi Number One, and was a semi-finalist in the same.[8]

Following the judges' advice about his expressive style, he decided to give acting a shot. Shree did supporting roles in a few movies before realising his interest for writing and subsequently moving onto screenwriting and filmmaking. He began working on stories and scripts, aiming to turn them into short films and motion pictures.[4]

2010-2016: Founding Madboys Entertainment[]

In 2013, Shree Karthick, along with Dev, founded Madboys Creatives, a media company focused on creating commercials, digital films and web-series.

Shree Karthick ventured into filmmaking with his short film debut Vyugam,[9] starring Dev, which was well received by critics and audience alike.[9] Following the success of Vyugam, he then went on to create Happy To Be Single, the first-ever Tamil web series, later distributed by Sony Music[10] as well as Childhood Diaries,[4] another award-winning short film.[11] Shree Karthick is often credited for the introduction of the nascent concept of web-series to Tamil cinema, with the release of Happy To Be Single. Childhood Diaries also featured in a 2020 Tamil anthology movie.[12][13]

Shree attributes his ability to come up with thirty-second story concepts to Madboys Entertainment and approximately 40 commercials he directed under its banner. He believes that they helped him further refine his filmmaking skills.[14]
