Sajin made his big screen debut in 2015 with Mumbai Taxi where he played a minor role. [4] He then played minor role in the film Thilothama . Gopu's role of the jeep driver in Lijo Jose Pellissery's Churuli in 2021 became a turning point in his career. [5] The same year he played the character of Saji Vypin in Jan.E.Man , where his performance was acclaimed. [6] In 2023, he starred in one of the lead roles in the horror-comedy Romancham and his character Niroop was well received by audience. [7] Sajin received much critical praise for his role as Ambaan in Jithu Madhavan's gangster action comedy Aavesham . [8] Vignesh Madhu of The New Indian Express wrote, "Ranga’s right hand man is Ambadi, who he fondly—and funnily—calls Ambaan. It is an equally caricaturish role with the might of a beast and the heart of a baby. Sajin Gopu, in this role, is a ball of fire and perfectly complements Fahadh’s madness. These two characters ignite the film everytime it seems to run out of steam. [9]
