After a 13-year hiatus from Tamil cinema since 'Leelai' (2012), Shiv Panditt is set to appear in Jason Sanjay's 'Sigma'. Panditt described his role as having significant grey shades, portraying a character caught between good and evil. His return follows a successful Hindi debut with 'Shaitan' (2011) and work in the international market, which led him to focus more on Hindi projects.
Panditt now feels he is a more evolved performer, open to diverse roles beyond his previous 'chocolate boy' persona. He consciously chose meaningful projects throughout his career, citing films like 'Boss' and 'Shershaah' as examples of his commitment to quality acting over sheer volume. His aim is to build a lasting relationship with Tamil cinema in this new phase.
Reflecting on his career, Panditt noted that 'Leelai's' lukewarm box office reception hindered his progress in Tamil cinema initially. He believes the magic of the big screen remains unparalleled by short-form content, emphasizing his dedication to film as a medium. Panditt hopes to establish a significant presence in Kollywood.
