He was noticed for his role as the heroine's father in '' Uyyala Jampala'' (2013). Regarding his performance, a critic wrote that "Ravi Varma (Mogali Rekulu fame) is seen in insignificant characters in movies so far. He is extremely good as father of heroine in a slightly negative role. This film will give the Telugu film industry a good character artist who is suitable for father roles". He played notable roles in '' Buchinaidu Kandriga'' (2020) and '' Prathyardhi'' (2023). Regarding his performance in the latter film, a critic wrote that "Adduri Ravivarma, who played the role of a sub-inspector, impressed in his own style".
