Career
[edit]Vatsan debuted as an actor with Aridhu Aridhu (2010), before working on AR Murugadoss's production Engaeyum Eppothum (2011), in which he portrayed a bus passenger who falls in love with a fellow traveller. He subsequently appeared in Rasu Madhuravan's Pandi Oliperukki Nilayam (2012) and in another Murugadoss production, Vathikuchi (2013), where he portrayed a negative role. He played his first lead role in R. K. Kalaimani's Apple Penne (2013), where he worked with actresses Iswarya Menon and Roja.[2] The film had a low key release and received negative reviews from critics.[3][4] In mid-2013, he also worked on a single track titled "Thalapathy Anthem", which he dedicated to actor Vijay.[5][6][7]
Vatsan was absent from the film industry throughout 2014, after suffering from dengue fever. His next release was Ravi's Tharkappu (2016), where he appeared alongside Shakthi Vasudevan and Samuthirakani.[8][9]
He had four releases in 2019 including his Telugu debut: Kalavu with Kalaiyarasan and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Kaithi followed by Nikhil's Arjun Suravaram. To prepare for the role as the antagonist in the Atharvaa-starrer Kuruthi Aattam, Vatsan gained 20 kilos.[10] The film opened to mixed reviews, and some critics praised Vatsan for his appeal and screen presence.[11][12][13]
