Charming yesteryear Karthik was offended when someone commented that he always comes late to events, etc.  He was apparently late yesterday to the audio function of the Tamil-language film 'Mr. Chandramouli' that stars Gautham Karthik and Regina Cassandra in the lead.  

When it was his turn, Karthik reportedly said that he wouldn't have been able to do about 150 films had it not been for his punctuality.  He didn't sound aggressive but only assertive in saying it.  

The 57-year-old actor, known among the Telugu audience as the lover boy of 'Abhinandana', was recently seen in the Suriya-starrer 'Thaana Serndha Kootam' ('Gang' in Telugu).  He has made a comeback to films and will be seen with his son Gautham Karthik in 'Mr. Chandramouli'.
