A hero who can carry off both urban and rural roles with élan, Jiiva has been in the business for more than ten strong years. In 2013, he was seen in Bejoy Nambiar’s David and was quite appreciated for his performance. Jiiva ended the year with a breezy Endrendrum Punnagai. Ravi K Chandran’s Yaan and Chandra Mohan’s Nee Nalla Varuvada will be Jiiva’s projects in 2014. One of the actors to venture early into social media, Jiiva has a strong online following too.
