A breakthrough in his movie career happened when he assumed the role of action director in the Kannada film Dharma in 2004, in which the principal actor was Darshan. His biggest Sandalwood movie so far is Darshan's Sangoli Rayanna, an epic period movie filmed on a grand scale with 1000 actors.

He also worked with Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn in the films Jai Ho,[1] Raees, and Action Jackson respectively. His prime projects are Doddmane Hudga, Jaguar, Santhu Straight Forward, Dhruva, Rock On!! 2 and Machine.
