Career

Vidharth joined the drama troupe, Koothu-P-Pattarai through some of his friends and began learning the nuances of acting step by step and made his on screen debut with a small role in Gautham Vasudev Menon's '' Minnale'' (2001). Despite believing that the small role would bring him more offers, it did not, and Vidharth continued small-time work with his drama troupe. After ten years, Prabhu Solomon cast him in small roles in his films, '' Kokki'' (2006), '' Lee'' (2007) and '' Laadam'' (2009), after seeing him in action in Koothupattarai.

Vidharth collaborated with Prabhu Solomon again, who gave him the lead role in his romantic drama '' Mynaa'' (2010). The film became the biggest success of Vidharth's career.

He first acted alongside Ajith Kumar in the masala film '' Veeram''. '' Venmegam'' was his next release, which was said to be about the bond between an artist, played by Vidharth, and a school girl (played by Jayashree Sivadas). He then played a mini bus driver named Velpandiyan in S. P. Rajkumar's romantic comedy '' Pattaya Kelappanum Pandiya''. His other releases that year were '' Aal'', a remake of the Hindi film '' Aamir'' and reportedly the first Tamil film to be shot in Sikkim at the India-China border, and '' Kaadu'', a film based on the subject of deforestation. With regard to ''Kaadu'', The New Indian Express wrote that it had Vidharth's "most inspired performance post ''Myna''".

In 2016, he had a psychological crime thriller starring '' Kuttrame Thandanai''. After ''Mynaa'', this is the career best of Vidharth as he perfectly emotes as the tunnel vision protagonist. In 2017, his films like '' Oru Kidayin Karunai Manu'' and '' Kurangu Bommai'' were successful. Subsequently, he played supporting roles in '' Magalir Mattum'', '' Vizhithiru'' and '' Kodiveeran''.
