Director Shankar appointed a youth who has done his Doctorate in robotic-technology, for assisting him in ‘Yanthram’ as the technological adviser. The youth who is always noticed as a ball-of-energy along with his laptop is the son of a bigwig. This young talent is none other than Karkhi Vairamuthu!

As we all know lyricist Vairamuthu has two sons. The eldest son Kabilan is a software engineer, while the younger son Karkhi has entered cine field to become like his father. As of now ‘Ilamai Idho Idho’(Tamil), ‘Kanden Kadhalai’(Tamil), ‘Yanthram’ are the projects in which Karkhi has penned lyrics.

Karkhi, who has done Doctorate from Australia, is not just the Lyricist and technological adviser of ‘Yanthram’, but also Shankar’s associate director!

When we asked if he will touch greater heights than his dad, Karkhi said with a smart smile, “Dad is like a tall mountain I’m at his base. I’m just starting it all.”

Though he is all-time busy as a lyricist, assistant director and tech-adviser, Karkhi is working as a scientist in Chennai Anna University.

Karkhi seems to prove that, ‘Intelligence is in the head, not in the age’. Let’s give it up for this man guys!
