Jaganath made his first appearance as a director in the Vijay starrer Puthiya Geethai. He had also directed Kodambakkam and Raman Thediya Seethai. Now he is busy with his next development. He is also acting in movies. Recently he gave an conference to the media: 

I got some good friends in cinema. When I have not having movies only their support gave me the potency. Raasu Madhuravan gave me a chance to act in his film Maayandi Kudumbhathar. Acting is an art. I will not say that I am doing a overhaul in the cine field.  If I act for 2 months, I get good remuneration.
