Career

Shankar was a mimicry artist when he was offered by Gokul a role in Rowthiram (2011); however, his scenes were edited out from the film. Gokul again cast him a role in Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Bala*ara (2013), which gave him a break as an actor. After doing small roles in Yaaruda Mahesh and Kappal, Balaji Mohan cast Shankar in Vaayai Moodi Pesavum (2014). His performance was described by critics as "scream". He portrayed a negative character in Touring Talkies (2015). He then acted in Maari (2015), where his performance was mentioned by critics that he "deserves a special mention" and "steals the show with his unique one-liners and body language".
