'', which Prakash Raj had been producing.
Through Prakash Raj, he was able to meet other producers and was signed on to play the male protagonist in the 2009 Telugu thriller film ''
Katha''. The film also featured
Genelia D'Souza and won critical acclaim upon release, with a critic noting that he made a "fairly competent" debut. In 2010, he was signed by Narayan Nagendra Rao to star in ''
Maalai Pozhudhin Mayakathilaey'' alongside
Regina Cassandra, his co-star in the short film ''Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Eppadi''. However, the pair was replaced by
Aari and
Shubha Phutela after a delay in production. ''Inidhu Inidhu'' released only in 2010 and was a box office failure with very little publicity during release, and his next Tamil film ''
Theneer Viduthi'' (2011) faced a similar response.
His next release in Telugu was ''Weekend Love'' in 2014 which was a disaster garnering lukewarm response. His much anticipated Telugu film ''Tungabhadra'' produced by Sai Korrapati was released in March 2015 and sunk without a trace despite earning him positive reviews. In 2017, he starred in Yupp TV Web Series ''Mana Mugguri Love Story'', alongside Telugu stars
Navdeep and
Tejaswi Madivada. The series received positive response and was a success.
