The young and handsome Gautham Karthik who has been making waves in Kollywood with his successful outings celebrates his birthday today. The talented actor who made his dream debut as a rugged youth in Mani Ratnam's 'Kadal' has gone on to make a name for himself and garner wide fan base, especially among the youngsters. 

Gautham Karthik, the son of famed actor  Navarasa Nayagan Karthik comes from a family lineage of extraordinary performers. He is also the grandson of R Muthuraman fondly called Navarasa Thilagam, who was a big name in the Tamil film industry during the 1960's and the 70's.

Gautham's next film  'Yennamo Yedho' even though being the remake of the Telugu blockbuster hit 'Ala Modalaindi' proved unlucky for him, as did Aishwarya Dhanush's 'Vai Raja Vai' which did not further his career.

However, 2017 has been a good year for the chocolate boy as two of his films 'Ivan Thanthiran' directed by R Kannan and Rajkumar Periyasamy's 'Rangoon' opened to positive reviews from both critics and the public audience.

Gautham seems to be on the right track as his next comedy outing with co-star Nikki Galrani in Santhosh Peter Jayakumar's 'Hara Hara Mahadevaki' is slated to be released at the end of this month amidst eager expectation from his fans.Apart from this, Gautham also has other projects in the pipeline such as Arumuga Kumar's 'Oru Nalla Naala Paathu Solren' in which he shares screen space with Vijay Sethupathi, director Sarvanan's 'Sippai' and 'Indrajith' directed by Kala Prabhu. 

Through his impressive performances Gautham has proved the Tamil audiences that he is loaded with raw talent and is in the game for the long run. As Gautham keeps transforming and shaping himself into a better actor with each film, his name and respect among his fan base and the common audience has been rising constantly.

Indiaglitz takes this opportunity to wish the actor a joyous birthday and also for the continued success of his future projects.
