The thespian made his Tamil debut in 2024 with “Vettaiyan” starring Rajinikanth as Athiyan, a senior police officer, who accidentally shoots an innocent person during an encounter killing, while investigating the murder of a teacher.
On the work front, his film “Piku”, which was released in 2015, is set to hit the theatres once again on May 9.
The comedy drama film is directed by Shoojit Sircar. The film also stars Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan along with Moushumi Chatterjee, Jisshu Sengupta and Raghubir Yadav.
