Early life and career

He was born in Karaikal to a Tamil father and Vietnamese mother, but grew up in Vadapalani Chennai. His father, Perumal, worked as an assistant fight master in the Tamil film industry. Later, Peter started his career as an extra fighter and assistant fight master for many Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films. During the initial days of his career, he worked as assistant to action directors Kanal Kannan and Vijayan. His debut film as "fight master " was in Minnale, a Tamil film. Krishna Vamsi, a Telugu film director recognised his sincerity and dedication[citation needed] and offered him the chance to direct the action sequences for the film Murari which was also dubbed into Tamil. From then on, he became a full-length action film director, action co-ordinator and stunt director for various Telugu and Tamil films. He acquired recognition from critics and media for his work in several films such as Anji, Run, and Kaakha Kaakha and it was his work in films such as Varsham, Anniyan, Athadu, Chatrapati and so on that brought him critical acclaim. Ram Gopal Varma introduced him to Bollywood with the film James. Mani Ratnam was very much impressed[citation needed] with his work in films like Athadu, Anniyan and Sivaji and enrolled him to direct the stunt sequences for the film Raavan. However, due to scheduling conflicts with Magadheera, Hein has done limited work for Raavan.

During his early days he was body double for Heroines namely Rambha, Meena, Roja and Vijayashanthi.[2]
