Sivakarthikeyan's unstoppable success run

Mar 16, 2015

'Rising Star' Sivakarthikeyan is on a winning streak ever since he turned a full-fledged hero with Marina in early 2012. His first couple of films till Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga (where he was one of the leads) were safe bets for the trade but his real growth as a solo hero started with Ethir Neechal in 2013. The film released on May 1 and went on to become a clean hit, completing 100 days at the box-office.

This was followed by Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam in the latter half of 2013. This rural comedy was a superhit in all the centers and made Siva a household name across the B and C markets too. Oodha Color Ribbon deserves a chunk of the credit too, for this 100 day success.

Then came Maan Karate in the summer of 2014. Accompanied by superhit songs and the gorgeous Hansika, Siva notched up another noteworthy success despite mixed talk. He took his first baby steps as an action hero with Maan Karate, which was also his initiation to the big league.

Siva's most recent success, Kaaki Sattai, was one where he turned a full-fledged action hero. Playing a positive police constable taking on a big organ trafficking racket, the film earned big money despite mixed reviews. The total TN gross is said to be almost 30 crores while the Chennai city gross is estimated to be around 4.05 crores.

A common factor in all these films is their family friendly nature, peppy songs, healthy comedy, the U certificate and their tax free status.

With director Ponram's Rajini Murugan up next around the middle of the year, Siva would be looking to extend this success run and further establish himself as a big star. Good luck !!!
