The actor made his proper debut in Tamil through “Puli” starring Thalapathy Vijay, Sruthi Haasan, Hansika Motwani, Nandita, Sridevi and others. Kiccha, in the film played the role of Jalatharangan. The story of the film which was released in the year 2015, revolves around the clash between humans and demons (Vedhalams) ruled by a demon kingdom in a fantasy world, where a human is fighting for justice for the killing of humans by demons, but his ancestry turns out to be a mystery.

The film received majority number of negative reviews from critics and didn’t impress the audience as well. Kiccha’s role as a villain didn’t make an impact for the film due to poor execution and writing and the actor didn’t act in any movie in Tamil after that. Now, in the promotion of his upcoming film, Kiccha had said that Tamil audience sent him home after acting in “Puli”.

“I don’t mind playing Grey roles. But there’s a problem in it. If I play a negative character as in “Eega”, there is no issue as I’m an out and out villain in that movie. After many years, after they consistently kept asking me, I accepted to act in “Puli”. I did “Puli”. But you people sent me home. You have to answer me now, why did you send me home ??” the actor asked the press reporters and added that he was just kidding.
