Career

He made his Tamil debut with the romantic drama Mundhinam Paartheney (2010).[3] To prepare for his role of a software professional, he lost ten kilograms.[1] His performance was well received with a critic noting that "New face Sanjay delivers a low-key yet elegant performance as Sanju, giving his co-star all the room to shine".[4] [5] [6] He then starred in another romantic film Doo (2011).[7] Regarding his performance, a critic wrote that "Sanjay lends conviction to his role, and is comfortable in the fight-dance sequence also".[8] [9] [10] [11] Although Mundhinam Partheney and Doo released to above average reviews, both films were box office failures.[12] His next film Eppodhum Vendraan (2014) had a low-key release and the film Theriyum Aanal Theriyathu was never released.[13] [12]
He then worked on many short films including Bhoomi (2021).[14] He played the second hero in the film Kabadi Bro, which released after a four year delay in 2023.[15]
