He became involved in short films, often portraying characters in the ''Naalaya Iyakkunar'' show on [[Kalaignar TV]], and featured in Ram's original award-winning short film titled ''Mundasupatti'' by dubbing for the character of the aspiring actor, Munishkanth, at the insistence of his friend [[Kaali Venkat]].<ref name="yt">{{cite av media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JihbjQw4DTc&hd=1|title=‘Mundasupatti’ Muniskanth: Came to be Villain; Became Comedian — Interview, Ramdoss|date=28 July 2014|work=YouTube|access-date=20 October 2015}}</ref>

He continued on the fringe of the film industry, appearing in small roles in [[Mani Ratnam]]'s ''[[Kadal (2013 film)|Kadal]]'' (2013) and [[C. V. Kumar]]'s ''[[Soodhu Kavvum]]'' (2013) and ''[[Pizza II: Villa|Pizza 2: Villa]]'' (2013), before being given the chance to portray Munishkanth in Ram's feature film debut ''[[Mundasupatti]]'' (2014).
