After lying low following a huge debacle in the recently concluded Assembly elections, actor-turned-politician Karthik is back in the news.

On Thursday, the veteran actor called on Tamil Nadu Governor Surjit Singh Barnala and submitted a memorandum seeking the Centre to make public the findings on the mysterious death of freedom fighter Subash Chandra Bose.

The actor, who belongs to All India Forward Bloc, said plans are on to strengthen his party in southern districts of Tamil Nadu and ensure they put up a good show in the forthcoming civic polls.

He is also planning to construct a memorial for his father and yesteryear actor Muthuraman in Chennai.
