Career[]

Udhaya Raj of Baana Kaathadi fame helped Pugazh audition for Kalakka Povathu Yaaru, but was not cast. Undeterred, he worked as a computer serviceman at Vijay TV and later starred in Sirippu Da alongside Dheena. Following his later selection and success in Kalakka Povathu Yaaru, he was given the opportunity to participate in Cooku with Comali.
