The following year, the team of Lathika put up banners across vast areas in Chennai, remarking that Lathika had been successfully running for days in the city albeit at a single cinema.

Actor Santhanam offered him a pivotal role in his first production Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya (), to portray one of the three leading male roles.

The film opened to positive reviews in January , with critics calling it an "infectious" comedy and went on to do profitable business at the box office.^[5] Alongside his co-stars, critics noted that Srinivasan "scorches the screen" and his "comic timing makes the slapstick madness work".^[3][6] The success of the film garnered him offers from big productions, including Bala's Paradesi () and Shankar's I; though his portions were later replaced in the former film.^[7]

Srinivasan has since gone on to appear in supporting roles in smaller budget films, notably playing pivotal characters in Arya Surya and Summa Nachunu Irukku ().

He has also regularly appeared in promotional videos and single scene appearances in films, with small-time filmmakers keen to sell their films using his popular image.^[8] In early , Srinivasan stated that he was unhappy that filmmakers were "betraying" him and depicting him in films. He delivered particular criticism to the makers of Ya Ya () and Goli Soda (), who he argued used his presence in their films for cheap publicity.^[9]
