    Film career

    Shiva's first film role was a supporting role in the 2001 film

    sports comedy Chennai 600028 alongside ten other debut actors.[10] His next role, again under Venkat's direction, Saroja (2008). Both films were box office hits.[11][12]

    Shiva then starred in Thamizh Padam (2010), a full-length parody of contemporary Tamil cinema, and his performance earned rave reviews. His comedy Va Quarter Cutting, was an average grosser. His first 2011 release became the long-delayed romantic drama Pathinaaru, which was his first non-comedy venture. During the period, he also completed another comedy film titled Siva Poojaiyil Karadi, by Rama Narayanan, but the film was never released.[13]

    In 2012, he featured alongside

    Santhanam in the lead role. Shiva was next seen in Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi's directorial debut Vanakkam Chennai, a romantic musical opposite Priya Anand. The film received positive to mixed reviews, but was a commercial success.[19]

    In 2015, he starred in two films with

    Thamizh Padam 2 (2018) has released, amidst high expectations.[25] He has opened to good reviews from the audience. Although the movie has a predictable story, the humour part has struck the chord with the viewers.[26] His voiceover has also appeared in films such as Vandi (2018) and Charlie Chaplin 2 (2019).[27][28]

    Personal life

    Shiva married his long time girlfriend and former national level badminton player Priya on 15 November 2012.[29][30] They have one son.[31]
