Shaam was introduced as a 'chocolate hero' in the film ‘12B’ directed by the late Jeeva and continued to don similar roles without much success. He has now worked hard to change his image as an action hero and is being roped in for a number of movies like 'Anthony-yaar', 'Sivamayam' and 'Agam Puram'.

This macho makeover had prompted some bees to fight him in order to see if he is strong enough…. (Just kidding)

Shaam stays in an apartment near Loyola College and a bee hive had been on a tree for quite some time. Neighborhood pigeons decided to feast on some honey and disturbed the peace and tranquility of the hive.

Unaware of all this Shaam, who was watching TV at the time was stung severely especially on the face. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

It is not clear if there were any other bee-sting victims.
