Karan

In 2018, a clip from his film Coimbatore Mappillai went viral online, prompting internet users to associate the word "Shroov" with the actor.

In 2006, Karan became a solo hero with Kokki and continued with films like Karuppusamy Kuththagaithaarar and Kathavarayan. His recent films are Sooran (2014) and Uchathula Shiva (2016).

Karan started his career as child actor under the name Master Raghu for more than 70 films in Malayalam and Tamil. In 1990, he made his Tamil debut as an adult in Annamalai starring alongside Rajinikanth in an uncredited role, before making a breakthrough with his performance as a rogue college student in Nammavar alongside Kamal Haasan. Then he was a part of many Tamil films, especially starring Vijay and Ajith.

Karan (born 19 August 1969) is an Indian actor who has appeared predominantly in Tamil language films. After starting his career as a child actor (under the stage name Master Raghu), he moved on to appear in supporting roles throughout the 1990s, often portraying antagonistic roles. In the mid-2000s, after a sabbatical, Karan chose to prioritise appearing in films where he would portray the lead role following the relative success of Kokki (2006).
