His first commercial success came when he garnered praise for his performance in the terrorism drama New York (2009), for which he was nominated for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. Following a series of poorly received films, he made his debut in Tamil cinema with Kaththi (2014), which became one of the highest-grossing films in Tamil cinema.
