2006–2013: Television and shift to cinema
During college, Sivakarthikeyan took part in various cultural events and performed mimicry and standup comedy onstage.[4]Between his studies, he took a three month-break, and during this period, his friends convinced him to go for auditions ofKalakka Povathu Yaaru?,a comedy reality TV show airing onStar Vijay.He started his career as a mimicry artist. Despite initial reluctance to participate, he won the second season of the show in 2006.[5]The makers ofAegan(2008) noticed Sivakarthikeyan and offered him a supporting role in the film, but his portions did not make the final cut.[6]He appeared in short films, including his friendAtlee'sMugaputhagam,[7]Identity,Kurahl 786,and360°.
DirectorPandirajapproached Sivakarthikeyan to play the lead role in his filmMarina(2012), and he signed the project. He prepared for the role by paying close attention to Pandiraj's instructions and visitingMarina Beachextensively to study the surroundings, while revealing that he hoped that his natural talent of humor would come through onscreen.[8]Featuring alongsideOviyaas a young couple in the film, Sivakarthikeyan's performance was well-received, with a critic noting "the romance adds colour to a monochrome film", while the reviewer also noted that the "role of Senthilnathan requires Siva to be just himself, it is just a cake walk in terms of performance for this actor."[9]
Prior toMarina's release,Aishwarya Rajinikanthhad signed Sivakarthikeyan up to play a supporting role asDhanush's friend in3,after being impressed with his work onstage as a host.[10]Following significant pre-release hype, the film opened to predominantly positive reviews with critics appreciating Sivakarthikeyan's work providing comic relief in a serious film.[11]The project also marked the beginning of an association with Dhanush, whom Sivakarthikeyan has often stated is his mentor in the film industry.
He was next seen inEzhil's romantic comedyManam Kothi Paravailater that same year, which opened to mixed reviews but had a decent run at the box office. A critic from Behindwoods noted that the film "might not provide Sivakarthikeyan the platform he is aspiring for – lead roles in movies. But it does showcase his potential as an actor."[12]
2013–2019: Experimentation in genres and success
In 2013, Sivakarthikeyan appeared in three films. In his first release of the year,Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga,a dual hero coming-of-age comedy, Sivakarthikeyan partnered once again with Pandiraj and shot for the film in his hometown ofTiruchirappallialongsideVimal.[13]The film opened to positive reviews from critics.[14][15]The film became a surprise success at the box office and ended up being a profitable venture for producers and distributors.[16]His next success was through Dhanush's debut production ventureEthir Neechal,written and directed byR. S. Durai Senthilkumar,a former assistant of film director,Vetrimaaran.It is a story about a young man having talent as a runner, who strives to make an identity for himself.

It was also the first time that Sivakarthikeyan sang a song in a film, and a promotional video of its making was released to market the film. He won positive reviews for his performance from critics, withSifynoting "Sivakarthikeyan is terrific as Bosepandi because he makes it look so believable on screen with his body language, eyes and dialogue delivery". Another reviewer called him a delight to watch and claimed that he carried the script.[17]The film completed 100 days during its theatrical run and was Sivakarthikeyan's biggest commercial box office success at that time.[18]Sivakarthikeyan's entertaining performances in 2013 led him to win the year'sVijay Award for Entertainer of the Year,an onstage moment which Sivakarthikeyan described as "memorable".[19]He started the year 2014 with a comedy filmMaan Karateproduced byA.

Raja,featured Sivakarthikeyan playing a lovestruck youth disguising himself as a female nurse to befriend his love interest.[22]Sivakarthikeyan's next venture was directorMohan Raja's action-thriller,Velaikkaran,pairing withNayantharaand featuringFahadh Faasilas the main antagonist.
