Shiva is an Indian actor and dialogue writer who appears in Tamil films. Prior to his acting career, Shiva worked as a radio jockey with Radio Mirchi. His tenure earned him the nickname Mirchi Shiva. Acting mainly in comedy films, he rose to fame following his performances in the Venkat Prabhu directorials Chennai 600028 (2007) and Saroja (2008). He is humorously known by fans as Agila Ulaga Superstar (worldwide superstar) after his hilarious spoof on Tamil cinema's portrayal in Tamizh Padam (2010).
