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 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] He is set to make his foray into Hindi cinema with AR Murugadoss' Sikander starring Salman Khan.[13]
