His initial films such as ''[[Pallavan]]'', ''[[Jananam]]'' and ''Unnai Enakku Pudichirukku'' were highly unsuccessful films as they failed to create any impact at the box office. He eventually gained attention with the 2008 low-budget thriller ''[[Silandhi]]'', following it up with the successful ''[[Kandein Kadhalai]]'', appearing alongside [[Bharath (actor)|Bharath]] and [[Tamannaah Bhatia]]. Subsequently, he was signed by Indian director [[Mani Ratnam]] to enact a supporting role in his magnum opus ''[[Raavanan (2010 film)|Raavanan]]'', along with prominent film artists [[Vikram (actor)|Vikram]], [[Aishwarya Rai Bachchan|Aishwarya Rai]], [[Prithviraj Sukumaran|Prithviraj]] and [[Priyamani]].<br />
