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.
