His next work came in 1993. The movie was titled ‘Uzhavan,’ and it is a heart-wrenching story about a farmer who cannot find love before the death of his mother, whose last wish is to see her son happily married. The film was given positive reviews. He then worked on and released a movie named Kadhal Desam, a movie revolving around a college love triangle that was easily his biggest hit till that point. Not only did it do well at the box office, but critics also loved it. It was dubbed and released in Telegu, where it again did good box office numbers; however, the Hindi version didn’t do so well.

Kathir then took on a more contemporary topic in his next film Kadhalar Dhinam. Once again, the film did wonders at the box office and was a critical success as well. There was no luck with his next venture, Kadhal Virus, a movie that saw him venture into production for the first time. 

After some ventures that failed to take off due to reasons often beyond his control, he debuted in Kannada cinema earlier this year with the film Nan Love Track.
