The former, an action drama, received highly positive reviews, with critics marking the improvement in his performance, while the latter, a melodrama, received mixed reviews, but did well at the box office.  "Aadi" also did well financially, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 2002.  He acted in two films in 2003, "Naaga", and "Simhadri".  While the former was a forgettable film, the latter became a huge blockbuster.

However, in 2006, his career prospects improved when he played the role of Ramakrishna, an unemployed youngster avenging his sister's death, in director Krishna Vamsi's drama thriller "Rakhi".  The film received highly positive reviews from critics, with many terming it as his finest performance.  Subsequently, it was declared a hit at the box office.
