Career

Sridhar made his full acting debut in K. Balachander's Poi (2006), appearing in a supporting role.[3] He worked as the choreographer for the "Naaka Mukka" song in Kadhalil Vizhunthen (2008), and was given the responsibility of ensuring the hit song translated well on-screen. Behindwoods.com consequently noted Sridhar "gave it some rocking steps and he more than delivered", listing it as a "signature dance step".[4] Sridhar won further critical acclaim for his work as a choreographer in Prabhu Deva's Engeyum Kadhal (2011), where he collaborated with his mentor for four songs.[1] He also choreographed and appeared in the title song of television series Nadhaswaram.

In 2015, he made his first appearance as a leading actor by appearing the action drama, Pokkiri Mannan directed by Raghav Madhesh. The film released with little publicity and received negative reviews from critics.[2] Nowrunning.com called it a "mediocre film" and an "excruciating movie-watching experience", remarking that Sridhar made a "passable debut".[5][6]

In 2016, he becomes a Director for the movie Savadi.[7]
