Director Harish Shankar, who worked closely with Ramesh on Gabbar Singh, also visited Apollo Hospital after hearing about the actor's condition. During his visit, Harish Shankar met Ramesh's family, offered words of encouragement, and reportedly provided financial assistance to help them during the difficult time. Ramesh made his Telugu film debut with Pawan Kalyan's Gabbar Singh, which released in 2012. Directed by Harish Shankar, the action-comedy was the Telugu remake of Salman Khan's 2010 Hindi blockbuster
Dabangg and starred Pawan Kalyan alongside Shruti Haasan. Although Ramesh played one of the villain's gang members, he quickly became a fan favourite because of his impeccable comic timing. Following the massive success of Gabbar Singh, Ramesh reunited with Pawan Kalyan in Attarintiki Daredi and Sardaar Gabbar Singh. He continued to portray comic villain and supporting roles across several Telugu films, building a reputation as a character actor.
