Career
Thaman Kumar was signed up for a film titled London Maappillai in 2011 but the film failed to finish production, and thus his first release became the thriller Aachariyangal (2012). He replaced Vikram Prabhu in Sneha Britto's Sattam Oru Iruttarai after a successful audition and featured in the lead role opposite Bindu Madhavi and Piaa Bajpai. The film, a remake of the yesteryear film of the same name, was released with little publicity and failed at the box office, with a critic noting "Thaman Kumar showed signs of confidence".{{cite web |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/sattam-oru-iruttarai-remake-this-tamil-film-is-absolutely-rudderless/311912-71-178.html |title='Sattam Oru Iruttarai' Remake: This Tamil film is absolutely rudderless- Tamil Reviews- IBNLive |website=ibnlive.in.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231054140/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/sattam-oru-iruttarai-remake-this-tamil-film-is-absolutely-rudderless/311912-71-178.html |archive-date=31 December 2012 |url-status=dead}} He is next seen in the comedy Summa Nachunu Irukku (2013).
