Subsequently, he got an opportunity to participate in the dance reality show Jodi Number One in STAR Vijay TV. He was paired up with Monisha, and he went on to capture the third place. He was selected for director Vasanthabalan's film Angadi Theru and prepared for the role by sitting out in the sun for over eight hours in order to get tanned. However, the opportunity was missed as the production preferred to go with their original choice. Irfan was the first choice for the role of Ram Babu in Venkat Prabhu's Saroja.

He was then called upon to play the lead role in the movie Sundaattam that revolved around the gambling form of carom, that was based in North Chennai. Post all these endeavors he was offered the role of Shakti Saravanan in the blockbuster Vijay TV serial Saravanan Meenatchi. He, however, left the serial in mid 2014, stating he lost interest.
Irfan decided to pursue writing and direction. He signed to direct a film starring Nithin Sathya, however the project did not take off. He directed and written short films such as Rani & Neengal Thodarbu Kollum Vadikaiyalar which won awards at international film festivals.
He played a villain role for the first time in Rajavukku Check co-starring Cheran. He received excellent reception and audiences and critics highly praised his performance of a menacing villain.
Irfan took a break from media and spent time for travelling and focusing on his online business.
He made a comeback through the fourth reboot edition of Kana Kaanum Kaalangal as Jerry. He is currently focusing on travel, working on short films and made a re-entry on a reality show through Mahanadigai on Zee Tamil as a mentor.
