Career
He made his Tollywood debut under his mentor, cinematographer turned film director Teja in the year 2000 with the film Chitram, in which he played the lead character of a 17 year old.[18] The film went on to become a trend setter.[19]
This film, followed by two others, Nuvvu Nenu and Manasantha Nuvve, made him among the very few actors in Telugu cinema to deliver three consecutive successful fims. His performance as a hot-blooded youngster in Nuvvu Nenu won him the Filmfare Best Actor Award (Telugu) in the year 2001.
In his fourth film, Kalusukovalani, he displayed dancing skills in the songs, "Udayinchina" and "Cheliya Cheliya". While in his fifth film, 'Sreeram' he ventured into an action oriented story of a youngster aspiring to become a top cop.
In 2005, he ventured into Tamil with the film Poi directed by K.Balachander. He then did two more films, Vambu Sandai and Pen Singam if—Tamil, the latter being the story penned by M. Karunanidhi, which did moderately well at the box office.
