Sivakumar’s journey as an artist is as inspiring as his acting career. Before stepping into the film industry, he arrived in Chennai with dreams of becoming a world-class painter.
In an earlier interview, he recalled his early struggles, often going without basic necessities but holding on to his passion for art.
One of his most cherished memories was his trip to Mahabalipuram in 1961. Lacking the money for travel, he and his friend Senapathy rode bicycles for nearly 60 kilometers to reach the historic site. He spent hours capturing the beauty of the seashore and the monolithic sculptures, before pedaling back to Chennai.
