Career

Abhinay made his film debut with the Telugu film Young India directed by Dasari Narayana Rao. He was set to make his Tamil debut with Vilambaram, but the delay of the film meant that the biographical film Ramanujan, based on the mathematician of the same name, was his debut film in Tamil. He received the role after an audition. Abhinay was also selected for the role due to his physical resemblance to Ramanjuan. Akin to Ramanujan, Abhinay is also good at math. Each scene was shot first in Tamil and then in English, with changes made between the versions due to the different audience. A critic from the Indian Express cited that "The highlight of the film is that it has a talented debutant playing Ramanujan to the hilt. You could see Ramanujan in Abhinay, literally, and his portrayal of the genius is nearly flawless".
