He was last casted in Kamal Hassan’s Movie, Indian 2

He counts among one of his prime USPs the ability to portray characters suffused with a kind of depth and a sense of relatability that remains in the audiences’ minds long after the curtain has dropped on him. His growth as an actor can be attributed to his collaborations with stalwarts like Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth, and directors Mani Ratnam and Balachander. Also, apart from films, television has added more to the audience in the form of popular Tamil serials which have expanded his fan base.
