Kannada actor Shiva, popularly known as Sathish Neenasam, rose to fame with the film Lucia and has since captivated audiences with his performances in movies like Drama and Love In Mandya. However, his journey to success was not without struggles. Sathish recently shared his experience as a struggler in an interview with a portal.
He revealed that he had arrived in Bengaluru with just Rs. 203 in his pocket, unsure of what to do in the city. As he tried to figure things out, Sathish ended up watching the same film three times at Gopal Theatre. Eventually, he took up a job at the theatre’s canteen, where he worked at a tea and coffee kiosk, sold tickets, and even repaired batteries. It was during this time that Sathish also honed his acting skills at Gopal Theatre. His debut in the film industry came with the 2008 movie Madesha, and since then, he has reached great heights in his acting career.
Sathish has come a long way since his debut and consistently delivers outstanding performances in each role he takes on. In 2019, he won the Filmfare Award South for Best Actor for his role in the film Ayogya. He has also received nominations for the South Indian International Movie Awards and the International Indian Film Academy Awards in recognition of his remarkable performances in movies like Ayogya, Rocket, and Love in Mandya.
Love in Mandya, directed by Arasu Anthare, had a decent run at the box office. Although it did not achieve remarkable collections, the film received awards such as the SIIMA Kannada Best Female Playback Singer for Sinchana Dixit. Actress Sindhu Loknath, music director Anoop Seelin, and others were also honoured for their contributions to the movie. Love in Mandya portrays the love story of a cable operator and the challenges he and his beloved face in their relationship.
Currently, Sathish is eagerly anticipating the release of his upcoming films Godhraa, Dasara, and others.
