In 2013, he worked with director Srinivas Raga on Okkadine, co-starring Nithya Menon.

On the eve of Rohith's birthday, the movie Balakrishnudu's motion poster was released, which featured him in a toned body.[12] Shutting out all the body shaming comments against him, the actor revealed his fit and healthy transformed body.[citation needed] The poster received a positive response.
