Actor Shiva who has impressed and made us laugh out loud with films like the Tamil Padam is celebrating his 30th birthday today. IndiaGlitz wishes the star a very happy birthday and a prosperous future in the industry.

After trying for chances in the industry ever since 2000, the actor quickly shot to fame with successive performances in Chennai 600028 and Saroja, both of which happen to be Venkat Prabhu films. Soon, he got the chance to play the lead role in Tamizh Padam, South India's first spoof film and his impressive performance landed him roles in several future projects including Va Quater Cutting and Pathinaaru. He was last seen in Kalakalappu alongside Vimal, which went on to become a superhit.

Known for his straightforward dialogues and humour which appeals to everyone, Shiva is currently working on the remake of Thillu Mullu in which he is playing double roles and Sonna Puriyaadhu. The actor also recently got married to his long-term girlfriend Priya. We hope to see Shiva's great zeal and spirit on screen for several years. Happy Birthday Shiva!
