Acting career

In 2013, he played the protagonist in the 6th episode of MTV Webbed called "Even Family is Fair Play", where he portrayed the character of a sexually confused teenager.[10]

In 2014, he also played lead roles in two episodes (42nd and 68th) of Yeh Hai Aashiqui.[14][15]

In 2020, Shivam played the lead role of Manav in MTV Nishedh, a fictional series created by MTV Staying Alive, that deals with stigma around subjects like women's sexual health and illness.

He has also appeared in over 50 TV commercials for brands such as Nescafe, Coke, Nokia, Head & Shoulders, Lay’s, Parachute, Close-Up, and McDonald’s.[16]

Bollywood

In 2012, Patil was cast as the male lead in Nasha, where he played the role of Saahil, a teenage student who falls in love with his drama teacher Anita played by Poonam Pandey.[17] He was called the "surprise packet of the film" by Taran Adarsh, who noted his ease in front of the camera.[18] Khalid Mohamed, reviewing for the Deccan Chronicle, called his performance in the film "particularly impressive, confident and nuanced, without ever going over the top". Mohamed also stated, "surely, he deserved a better first film".[19] The Mumbai Mirror stated that "Shivam plays it stiff and not terribly expressive. This ultimately works for his character Sahil, and is completely intentional."[20]

Patil had also acted in Sunny Deol's Ghayal Once Again, the sequel to Deol's 1990 film Ghayal. In Ghayal, Patil plays Rohan, a lawyer's son who stands up against injustice.[5] Upon release, Patil's performance in the film was appreciated by critics.[21] Ritika Handoo, reviewing for Zee News, called his performance "a job worthy of mention".[22] Anna MM for the Firstpost said that "Aanchal Munjal and Shivam Patil - Anushka and Rohan here – are worth watching out for"[23] Screenwriter and director Khalid Mohamed called his performance "impressive".[24]

Patil's recent film is Kaalakaandi, which is directed by Akshat Verma, who last wrote Delhi Belly. He plays the character of 'Jehangir Jehangir' as part of the ensemble cast. The movie's release date was 12 January 2018.[25]
