Early life and cinema

Starting his career working as a software engineer, Siva worked as a screenwriting assistant under his uncle Posani Krishna Murali.[4] Subsequently, he ventured into cinema as a Dialogue writer for films such as Okkadunnadu, Munna, Brindavanam, and Oosaravelli.[5]

Directorial career

He made his directorial debut with the Prabhas-starrer Mirchi which was a box-office success. He then directed Mahesh Babu in the action-drama film Srimanthudu, which was yet another major box-office success.[6] Consecutive box-office successes with his first two movies enabled him to make a multi-starrer next. With Mohanlal and Jr. NTR in the lead, Janatha Garage had its protagonists operating a large automobile service center named "Janatha Garage" and undertaking law enforcement through their group of automobile mechanics, because the legal agencies were thought to be inadequate. Siva scored his third consecutive success as a director with the film.[7] He returned to direct Mahesh Babu in the political drama film Bharat Ane Nenu and continued his success streak at the box-office, with the film grossing ₹225 crores at the box-office.[8] In early 2020, he started filming his next, Acharya with Chiranjeevi in the lead.[9]
