Karthi Movies List In Tamil Jun 2026

As the timeline moves forward, Karthi continues to experiment. In Sardar (2022), he played a dual role again—a spy and a thief—exploring themes of identity and displacement. His ability to undergo massive physical transformations remains one of his strongest assets.

However, it was the Kaithi (2019) saga that arguably defined the modern phase of his career. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Kaithi was a film with no songs, no heroine, and no commercial breaks for romance. Karthi played Dilli, an ex-convict desperate to meet his daughter. The film was a masterclass in tension and storytelling. With a thick beard, weary eyes, and a restrained performance, Karthi proved that content was king. Dilli became an iconic character, seamlessly integrated into the larger Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), appearing in Vikram (2022) alongside Kamal Haasan. karthi movies list in tamil
