Devan is known for his adept handling of lead roles, even though he started his career in supporting roles. He was cast as the lead actor in films like Oozham, Aaranyakam, Simon Peter, Ninakku Vendi and Oru Minnaminunginte Nurunguvettam, although the movies were not that successful. His most notable movies, including Ekalavyan, Baasha, and Indraprasdham are still popular today. He has also acted in several TV series.[2]
