His played the lead in the sports drama ''[[I Love You Da]]'' (2002) of which ''[[The Hindu]]'' stated the film proves "serious acting is simply not his cup of tea".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/12/13/stories/2002121301100200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030201152318/http://thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/12/13/stories/2002121301100200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2003-02-01 |title=I Love You Da |date=2002-12-13 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2015-10-30}}</ref> After working on an unreleased film titled ''Colombus'', he then went on to feature in the trilingual ''[[123 (film)|One Two Three]]'' (2003) alongside his brothers, with scenes shot in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
