He afterward made a comeback through the effective vigilante film Thambi (2006), in spite of the fact that the commercial disappointment of his another film, provoked Seeman to organize commitments as a supporting actor in the late 2000s.In the early 2010s, Seeman established the Naam Tamilar Katchi, a Tamil ultranationalist political party, and has since regularly been in the news for his disputable explanations on Indian and Tamil social issues.

He moved to Chennai to seek after his dream of working in the film industry.

Film career
Seeman took up film heading as a career after being propelled by the movies of Bharathiraja and Manivannan. He worked as an collaborator executive with Bharathiraja and Manivannan. Seeman begun his career by coordinating ''Panchalankurichi'' (1996), a town activity film featuring Prabhu and Madhubala. He collaborated with Prabhu once more in ''Iniyavale'' (1998), a sentimental film which moreover included performing artists Suvalakshmi, Gouthami and Keerthi Reddy. Seeman's third film was ''Veeranadai'' (2000) with Sathyaraj and Khushbu, which earned blended survey from faultfinders and failed to meet expectations commercially.

The disappointment of his beginning movies made it troublesome for Seeman to pull in makers to work on his following movies. Amid the late 1990s and early 2000s, he worked on four other ventures, ''Vaigai Karai Oram'' with Vijayakanth, ''Anandham'' with Karthik, ''Karma Veerar'' with Sarathkumar, and ''Sethupathi Cheemaiyile'' with Rajkiran, but all fizzled to create past production.Seeman at that point made the village-based vigilante film, ''Thambi'' (2006), featuring Madhavan in the main part. The film's generation was briefly stopped taking after a difference between the performing artist and chief, after Seeman raised an protest to Madhavan returning to be with his family for the birth of his child. The film opened to blended audits but performed well commercially. His most later directorial discharge, ''Vaazhthugal'' (2008), gotten negative surveys and performed ineffectively at the box office. A commentator from Sify famous the "execution is shabby and the last result is a inauspicious and boring message film that takes off you exhausted."The disappointment of ''Vaazhthugal'' made it troublesome for Seeman to discover makers and performing artists to work on his other proposed ventures, in spite of his intrigued in proceeding work as a film chief.

In the late 2000s, Seeman endeavored to make a film titled ''Pagalavan'' with either Ajith Kumar or Madhavan featuring, but was unsuccessful. Seeman at that point trusted to make the film with Vikram for chief Bala's generation studio, but the wander did not appear. In mid-2010, maker Kalaipuli S. Dhanu concurred to fund the extend, and Seeman held talks with Vijay to be a portion of the film. The on-screen character afterward denied to work on the extend, which provoked Seeman to talk out against Vijay. In 2013, Seeman drawn closer Jiiva, Jayam Ravi, Arya and Vishal to work on the venture, but none of the on-screen characters concurred to be a portion of the film. In 2017, Seeman was in talks with Vijay Antony to include in the lead part, and at that point with Silambarasan in 2018, but both actors afterward selected to organize other ventures. In 2017, Seeman declared another extend titled ''Kobam'' with G. V. Prakash Kumar in the lead part. In any case, in spite of an declaration, the film fizzled to discover makers and was stalled.Since the mid-2000s, Seeman has generally worked as an performing artist.
