Shiva (actor) life and biography

Shiva is an Indian film actor, starring in Tamil films, and a radio jockey with the radio station Radio Mirchi. Acting mainly as a comedian, he rose to fame following his performances in the Venkat Prabhu directorials Chennai 600028 and Saroja.

Shiva's first film role was a cameo in the 2001 film 12B. He debuted as a lead actor in Venkat Prabhu's 2007 sports comedy Chennai 600028 alongside ten other debut actors. His next role, again under Venkat's direction, was the thriller Saroja. Both films were box-office hits.

Shiva then starred in Thamizh Padam, a full-length parody of contemporary Tamil cinema, and his performance earned rave reviews. His 2010 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.
