His second film, "Johnny Gaddaar" (2007), a neo-noir thriller and the debut of Neil Nitin Mukesh, received critical acclaim but didn't perform well at the box office. Over time, it has gained a cult following. Raghavan then directed the action spy film "Agent Vinod" (2012), starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan.

It became Raghavan's highest-grossing release and one of Indian cinema's biggest hits.
