Career

He worked as a mime artist for the reality television show Maanada Mayilada . [4] He subsequently moved on to work in Tamil cinema, playing pivotal roles in films including Ambuli , Aaah and Jumbulingam 3D . Regarding his performance in Ambuli, a critic wrote, "Gokul [...] brings in genuineness to the role of Ambuli, through his animal-like movements". [5] However, his performance in the other two films were mixed with a critic calling his performance in Aaah as "artificial" and in Jumbulingam 3D, a critic wrote, "[Gokul] busies himself with skits and mimes that I suspect would work better on stage than it does in cinema". [6] [7]

His highest profile film to date is Vikram , in which he played a minor role. [4]
