Ram started his acting career with the television series Ethanai Manithargal that aired on Doordarshan as a thug. [1] He made his film debut with Mudhalvan (1999), where he played a sub-inspector of police. [1] The film, however, failed to provide the actor a major break.

About twenty years later, Ram landed in a meaty role in Thimiru Pudichavan (2018). Post Thimiru Pudichavan, he garnered acclaim for his performance as an aghori in Kanchana 3 . [3] Ram signed Thatrom Thookrom , where he essays the main antagonist. [4] His two-hundredth film Kasa Kasaa features him in the lead role. [5]
