His career trajectory began with notable appearances in films like 'Kadhal' (2004) and 'Thirupaachi' (2005), where his performances were recognized for their intensity. A significant phase of his career was his collaboration with director Hari, featuring in successful action films such as 'Kovil' (2004), 'Aaru' (2005), and 'Vel' (2007).
