Within a span of eight years, Sivakarthikeyan has emerged as one of the most bankable stars of Tamil cinema. Starting out as a comedian/mimicry artist on the small screen, Sivakarthikeyan's presence is gleaming in the silverscreens of Kollywood.
Sivakarthikeyan's introduction to spotlight was his stint as a participant in the comedy reality show Kalakkapovadhu Yaaru. After that, Sivakarthikeyan had participated in several shows including the dance shows Jodi No.1 and Boys vs Girls, where we saw a transformation of his dancing skills.
With reality shows and short films aside, Sivakarthikeyan's biggest break as an anchor came in the form of the quiz comedy show Adhu Idhu Edhu?, where he enthralled celebrity guests and audiences with his sharp wit and comedic chops. This catapulted Sivakarthikeyan as a household name amongst Tamil viewers, thereby leading to his silverscreen debut in director Pandiraj's 2012 dramedy Marina.
With a filmography that includes some of Kollywood's major hits such as Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam, Maan Karate and the recent Namma Veettu Pillai, Sivakarthikeyan's forthcoming Sci-Fi film Ayalaan has higher expectations amongst audiences.
Social media has been in awe of the actor's growth as several netizens gave a throwback to a soap ad that featured Trisha, in which Sivakarthikeyan appeared as an extra. The successful journey continues to instill hope in the hearts of struggling artists and outsiders of Tamil cinema and imparts an important lesson - If you work hard with enough perseverance, Tinsel success is achievable.
