He has appeared in over 180 films, predominantly in comedic roles, and has received three Nandi Awards and two Filmfare Awards South. During the 2000s, he was regarded as one of Telugu cinema's leading comedians, recognised for his distinctive laugh and comedic timing. Sunil transitioned to lead roles with Andala Ramudu (2006) and went on to star in several commercially successful films, including Maryada Ramanna (2010), Poola Rangadu (2012), and Tadakha (2013).
