He played character roles in college plays and in amateur theatre and has worked as a theatre actor with B. V.

Iyer and Grahana (1978).[1] He has since played minor roles in Tamil films such as Sathyaa (1988).[1]

Regarding his performance in 18 Vayasu (2012), a critic wrote, "It’s a remarkable portrayal by Satyendra as the cranky Jocky with his imaginary pistols, and his firm determination to help Karthik in his cause".[2]

In 2023, he became viral after giving a negative review about Leo (2023) criticising Lokesh Kanagaraj's direction.[3] He has since gained notoriety as a film critic.[3]
