Career

He made his debut with the Tamil film, Adhe Neram Adhe Idam. He would go on to play the lead role in his next Tamil film, Yugam. He made his Malayalam film debut in Bangkok Summer.

He gained recognition in his next film, Vaadamalli , where he played a student who comes from the slums and his people from the slums sponsor his education.[6] Later, he and Richa Panai were paired for the third time in a film which failed to take off.

He got a breakthrough in his acting career after playing the lead role in Lisammayude Veedu, which released in 2013. He played the character of Sivankutty while Meera Jasmine was paired opposite him. Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran suggested his name to director Jeethu Joseph who cast him in his film, Memories. His role in Thani Oruvan was well received.

Rahul made his Kannada film debut with Kiragorina Gayyaligalu (2016) and Telugu film debut with Geethanjali Malli Vachindi (2024).[7]
