Career

[edit | edit source]

In 2011, Vasishta quit his job as a software engineer and decided to enter the film industry as an actor. He initially worked on an unreleased film titled Hubballi Hudagaru, before having his first release with Arya's Love (2013). He subsequently made a breakthrough with his role as the main antagonist in Raja Huli (2013), a remake of the Tamil film, Sundarapandian (2012). He later also appeared in Rudra Tandava (2014), a remake of the Tamil film Pandiya Naadu (2013).[2]

Vasishta then appeared in JKS's bilingual film, Alone, in a leading role alongside Nikesha Patel. Portraying the male lead, the actor managed to get an introduction into the Tamil film industry and the film won mixed reviews.[3][4] He made his Telugu film debut with the film Narappa in 2021. In KGF, Vasishta played the role of Bangalore-based gangster Kamal, one of the major antagonists in the film.
