Mirchi Shiva has won a huge fan following with his own style of comedy in Tamil cinema. With his dead pan expressions and unique dialogue delivery he evokes laughter more often than not. So far he has played mostly comedic roles and it is clearly his forte.

Shiva has revealed that his next film is a serious one and will be directed by Ram of the critically acclaimed 'Katradhu Thamizh', 'Thanga Meengal' and 'Peranbu' fame. The intense filmmaker has completed 'Yezhu Kadal Yezhu Malai' starring Nivin Pauly, Anjali and Soori and producer Suresh Kamatchi has planned to release the film by the end of the year. The official announcement on the Ram-Mirchi Shiva film is expected soon.

Shiva's upcoming films include 'Kasethan Kadavulada', 'Saloon' and 'Golmaal', 'Singled Shankarum Smartphone Simranum' along with the long delayed 'Sumo'.
