Pawan is an Indian actor who has appeared in Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu films. He made his debut in Raasi, supporting role in Thimiru, before playing leading roles in Sengathu Bhoomiyilae and Thagaraaru.
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]
