Career

Karthik worked as an assistant to Tirru during Mercury (2018) and Petta (2019).[1] He also worked as an assistant cinematographer in several Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil-language films.[2] He garnered acclaim for his work in Penguin (2020). A critic from The Times of India noted that "Karthik Phalani's visuals help set the eerie mood" whilst a critic from The Hindu stated how "The filmmaker, however, revelation in terms of his visual sense. Two shots come to mind that are beautifully imagined and shot".[3][4] His next film was the Kannada film French Biriyani (2020). A critic noted that "Cinematographer Karthik Palani has created the right atmosphere and has employed quirky camera moves to keep us in tune with the film's proceedings".[5]

In 2020, Karthik started working on Adipurush, directed by Om Raut. It was based on the Hindu epic Ramayana.[6] The filming involved combining motion capture technology[7] with live action similar to the methods used on The Jungle Book (2016) and Planet of the Apes (2011).[8]

Karthik is collaborating with Maruthi again after Brand Babu (2018) and is also reuniting with Prabhas following their work on Adipurush.[9][10]
