The film also featured [[Genelia D'Souza]] and won critical acclaim upon release, with a critic noting that he made a "fairly competent" debut.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-telugu-movie-review-katha/20091214.htm |title=Genelia steals the show in Katha |work=Rediff.com |date=14 December 2009 |access-date=5 July 2012}}</ref> In 2010, he was signed by Narayan Nagendra Rao to star in ''[[Maalai Pozhudhin Mayakathilaey]]'' alongside [[Regina Cassandra]], his co-star in the short film ''Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Eppadi''. However, the pair was replaced by [[Aari (actor)|Aari]] and [[Shubha Phutela]] after a delay in production. ''Inidhu Inidhu'' released only in 2010 and was a box office failure with very little publicity during release, and his next Tamil film ''[[Theneer Viduthi]]'' (2011) faced a similar response.
His next release in Telugu was ''Weekend Love'' in 2014 which was a disaster garnering lukewarm response. His much anticipated Telugu film ''Tungabhadra'' produced by Sai Korrapati was released in March 2015 and sunk without a trace despite earning him positive reviews. In 2017, he starred in Yupp TV Web Series ''Mana Mugguri Love Story'', alongside Telugu stars [[Navdeep]] and [[Tejaswi Madivada]]. The series received positive response and was a success.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/8497/tamil/theneer-viduthi/3184/review.htm |title=Theneer Viduthi Review – Tamil Movie Review by Rohit Ramachandran |publisher=Nowrunning.com |date=2 July 2011 |access-date=5 July 2012}}</ref>
