Career
Lallu started his career as an actor by acting in several short films.[1] He debuted as a lyricist for Inga Enna Solluthu (2014) and wrote a song for Virattu (2014).[2][3] In a soundtrack album review by The Hindu, the reviewer wrote that "‘Cute-ana’ sung by Naresh Iyer and written by Lallu, is enjoyable".[2] That same year, he received a role in R. Parthiban's Kathai Thiraikathai Vasanam Iyakkam (2014) after Keerthana, Parthiban's daughter, watched one of his short films and suggested him for a role.[1] He played supporting roles in Chennai 600028 II (2016) and 8 Thottakkal (2017) before he starred in Rangoon (2017).[4] He garnered acclaim for playing one of Gautham Karthik's friends in the film. Lallu had also written a song titled "Foreign Return" for the film that contained Burmese lyrics.[5][6] He has since played supporting roles in several films including Sarkar (2018) and Kaithi (2019).[7][8][9]
