Seems the family had always known that if it's cinema it would be Karthi, not the other way around as it happened. But Kollywood was his true calling, and he came back, joined up with Mani Ratnam (ayudha ezhuthu and Yuva) before Ameer came up with the story. Source? Dad Siva Kumar mentioned it to me yesterday (Feb 28) at Four Frames. I was waiting for Departed to start, he to welcome Rajni, Lata, Soundarya and Aishwarya for a spl screening of Paruthi veeran."
