Career

Pawan ventured into Tamil films with Vetrimaaran's Polladhavan. He also played the villain role in the Vijay-starrer Kuruvi (2008), with his work for the film preventing him from accepting offers for roles in Aegan and Silambattam.[1]

Pawan next featured in Rathnakumar's family drama film Sengathu Bhoomiyilae (2012) as the film's lead character but the film met with a low key release and mixed reviews.[2] He then appeared as one of the four lead actors in Thagaraaru (2013), winning critical acclaim for his performance.[3][4] Pawan also appeared in a small role in the Ajith Kumar starrer Veeram (2014). He starred in Vetrimaaran's Vada Chennai (2018) and Asuran (2019).[5] He has played as politician in the film Mask (2025).[6]
