Thikkodiyan introduced X to Aravindan, a highly acclaimed Malayalam Director, which fetched him his first role in Utharayanam.But he didn’t get any offers to act after that, so he produced a film himself, Padasaram, in which he was, predictably, the hero. It flopped at the box office, but the next two films he produced, Chora Chuvanna Chora and Chakara, did better.
