=== Television career ===
''Guttu'' was Ganesh's first on-camera project (see Films section below) Ganesh also called as Gaanja Ganesh. Though it was made as a telefilm in Karnataka, it ran into difficulties getting a timeslot to air, and the frustrated producers played it as a feature in festivals and select theaters in the USA, incurring heavy losses. Ganesh played the hero, Deepak, a hapless software systems analyst, who gets caught up in the ambitious adventure of an [[Non-resident Indian|NRI]] girl (played by Chaya Singh) who visits India to try and re-trace her family tree. His flair for comedy and knack for timing showed through in this first role, which caused the director (Priyabharati) to promote him heavily to directors of many TV series. In his early days, Ganesh bagged a few TV roles by referencing his collaboration with an NRI director.
He acted in several TV serials, including ''Yadva Tadva'', ''Vataara'' (directed by [[Nagathihalli Chandrashekhar]]) and ''Pa Pa Pandu'' (directed by Sihi Kahi Chandru).
As a TV artist he popularised the television program ''Comedy Time''. The program was telecasted on [[Udaya TV]] from Monday-Friday at 5PM-5.30PM in the beginning and later at 5.30PM-6PM. The program concept was unique: viewers would write a letter to the anchor describing their family and mentioning their telephone number. Then the anchor would call their number, disguising himself as someone else and fool them. After reading each letter a comedy scene from a chosen [[Kannada]] film was telecasted in the interim. His unique style of greeting the viewers at the start and end of the program was popular, especially with children.
Following the success of this TV show, fans started to call him "Comedy Time" Ganesh.
== Films ==
His first film was ''Guttu'', a telefilm directed by India's youngest female film director, Priyabharati Joshi, an [[Non-resident Indian|NRI]] who came to India with the intention of entering the Indian film industry. Priyabharati offered Ganesh ''Guttu'' just as he was about to graduate from Adarsh Film Institute, against the advice of industry insiders who criticized her choice of a newcomer with unconventional looks and no industry ties. ''Guttu'' was Ganesh's first time facing the camera, before moving on to his TV career and later, feature films.
Ganesh's first feature wide-release film, ''Chellata'', was a moderate success and ran up to 125 days in some theatres. [[Chitra Rekha]], who had already acted in quite a few films, acted opposite Ganesh in this film.
Then came the 2006 film ''[[Mungaru Male]]'', which was a roaring success. The film was directed by [[Yograj Bhat]]. Yograj had narrated the script to [[Puneeth Rajkumar]], who rejected it. Ganesh had been involved in the script development process and was curious to act in the movie. He got director Bhat to meet his acquaintance E Krishnappa. Since [[Krishnappa]] knew Ganesh (both hailed from Adakamaranahalli, Nelamangala), he agreed to finance the film. Since Yograj Bhat could not get dates from any [[Kannada]] actress, he signed a relatively unknown actress, [[Pooja Gandhi]]. The film's lyrics were penned by [[Jayant Kaikini]] and music was composed by part-time music director [[Mano Murthy]]. [[Jayant Kaikini]], son of renowned writer late [[Gourish Kaikini]], was a well-known columnist and writer. The film was mainly shot during the rainy season in places like [[Madikeri]], [[Sakaleshpura]], [[Jog Falls]] and [[Gadag]].
''Mungaru Male'' opened to a good response among audiences and went on a record-breaking spree. The film garnered over {{INR}}75 [[crores]] at the box office.[http://www.ibnlive.com/news/karnatakas-heartthrob-ganesh-secretly-marries/58780-8.html "Karnataka's heartthrob Ganesh secretly marries".] IBN Movies. February 12, 2008. "...''Mungaaru Male'', which broke all records, earning Rs 75 crores." It released with 150 prints all over Karnataka, and it was one of the Kannada films that ran to packed houses on weekdays in PVR Multiplex for 400 days (puneeth Raj's Milana ran for 300 days in PVR, B'lore). The remake rights of the movie were acquired by Suryaprakash Rao of SP Entertainers India Private Limited for Rs. 1.5 crores for Tamil and [[Telugu language|Telugu]] combined. The film received lukewarm to average reviews. Rediff.com awarded a three-star rating and praised its cinematography, technical values and acting, but opined that the story was flawed. Nowrunning.com felt that the film lacked a credible story line and gave too much importance to music and song picturisation. Kannada portal Thatskannada.com praised the film for its content, narration and usage of rain as a metaphor for love.
His third film as hero, ''[[Hudugaata]]'', was released on 8 June 2007. His subsequent films have included ''[[Cheluvina Chithara]]'' (2007), ''[[Gaalipata]]'' (2008), ''[[Krishna]]'' (2007), ''[[Aramane]]'' (2008), ''[[Bombaat]]'' (2008), ''[[Sangama (film)|Sangama]]'' (2008), ''[[Circus (2009 film)|Circus]]'' (2010, ''[[Ullasa Utsaha]]'', ''[[MaLeyali Jotheyali]]'' (2009).,Eno onthara(2010),kool(2011).
