It is no mean task to take the plunge into television especially when you have been a star on the big screen. Several film actors, however, have adjusted well to the medium, primarily to stay in the limelight and also to get quick money. Seetha, Nalini, Devayani and the list is growing. Karthik who was a great hit with Agni Nakshatram, Ponnumani and Kizhakku vasal has been on a slippery pitch of late. None of his films has clicked. So, he turned to television and is the host of a game show on Tamizhthirai channel. Besides, he has mobilized the support of his fans and well wishers to start a charitable organization called Sharanalayam.
