Shiva is an Indian actor and dialogue writer who appears in Tamil language films. Prior to his acting career, Shiva worked as a radio jockey with Radio Mirchi.[1][2][3][4][5] Acting mainly in comedy films, he rose to fame following his performances in the Venkat Prabhu directorials Chennai 600028 and Saroja, before also featuring in Thamizh Padam. His tenure with Radio Mirchi earned him the nickname Mirchi Shiva.[6] He is humorously known by fans as Agila Ulaga Superstar (transl. Universal Superstar).[7]
