In 2004, he appeared in Varsham opposite Trisha. The film went on to win major awards including the Nandi Award for Best Female Playback Singer (K.S.

He continued his career with Adavi Raamudu and Chakram.

In September 2005 he acted in the film Chatrapathi directed by S. S. Rajamouli, in which he portrays the role of a refugee, exploited by goons.

Billa is a remake of the 2007 Tamil film of the same name. It also drew inspirations from the NTR-starring Telugu film, Yugandhar (1979) which drew inspirations from Amitabh Bachchan's Hindi film Don and Rajinikanth's 1980 Tamil film with the same title. Bills was commended as stylish and visually rich.[8]
