Pawan ventured into Tamil films by playing Out in 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]

He starred in Vetrimaaran's Vada Chennai (2018) and Asuran (2019).[5]
