Thanks to his father P Vasu, Shakthi made a decent beginning with 'Thottal Poo Malarum'. Though the movie managed an average run at the box office, it garnered quite a decent attention. Shakthi did win accolades for his bold performance.

He is currently playing a prominent role in a couple of films including 'Magesh, Saranya, Mattrum Palar' and 'Ninaithalae Inikkum'. The latter is a remake of the Malayalam hit 'Classmates' and features Prithviraj and Priyamani besides Shakthi.

Buzz is that Shakthi has agreed to do an important character in a movie titled 'Aatta Nayakan'. More details of the project are expected to be revealed soon. Also, the young actor would be playing a prominent role in a film to be produced by veteran producer Nagi Reddy's grand-son Sarath Reddy. It would be directed by Badri, who wielded the megaphone for Sundar C's 'Veerappu'.

It is interesting to note that Sakthi is not just waiting for scripts that portray him as the hero. He is playing a plethora of characters and that should be a big boost to his career.
