In the year 2009, a film named Palaivana Solai was released which was a remake version of the same film released in 1981 where a love story of five friends woven around one simple girl received critics appreciation. Chaams played the lead role as one of the five friends.
Chaams garnered acclaim for his role in Payanam (2011) as a fan of "Shining Star" Chandrakanth (inspired by "Super Star" Rajinikanth). Rediff stated that a "special mention must be made of Chaams" as he provided "excellent comic relief".[2] The Hindu stated that "Chaams as the doting fan whose blinkers fall off" is "a riot".[3]
