Karthik: Rahman's blue-eyed-boy

He is one of the most popular of AR Rahaman's discoveries and this playback singer, who has just bagged the Filmfare award recently sang for Rajinikanth in Baba.

Karthik of late has become the blue-eyed-boy of every composer. He says AR Rahman has his own style to push him to do better each time.

"If there is a particular tune and I sing it a couple of times, he will say you are 80 per cent there, go again. Now 95 per cent. He'll ask me to add more feeling to the song, " Karthik said about Rahman.

Karthik who is trained in both Carnatic and Hindustani classical music, sings in six languages, and writes his lyrics in Hindi.
