He gained recognition with his debut Kannada film “Lifeu Ishtene” in 2011, which received critical acclaim for its contemporary portrayal of relationships and youth culture. However, it was Pawan’s second directorial venture, “Lucia,” released in 2013, that truly established him as a trailblazing director. “Lucia” was a groundbreaking film, being one of the first crowdfunded movies in the Indian film industry.

Continuing his pattern of innovative storytelling, Pawan directed “C10H14N2,” a Kannada sci-fi film that delved into time travel and its implications. Released in 2015, the film was well-received by audiences open to exploring unconventional themes in cinema.

In 2019, Pawan Kumar directed the highly anticipated film “Kudi Yedamaithe,” a Telugu web series that gained substantial attention for its unique narrative structure involving a time loop. The series was critically acclaimed and further demonstrated Pawan’s ability to experiment successfully across different formats.
