Career
Srinivasan worked in the textile industry in
Tiruppur. After some time in the textile industry, he lost the appetite due to workload, trade embargoes, financial constraints and persistent losses.
He worked as a restaurant franchisee in the 1990s. He later pursued an interest in acting after gaining a source of inspiration from his reading habits. In an interview, he credited that reading books eventually paid rich dividends for him, which propelled him to embark on pursuing greener pastures by venturing into the cine field. In the beginning of his film acting career, he received a remuneration of INR 200-300 per film and he began to make inroads by accepting minor roles, uncredited roles in films.
He also revealed that he waited in the queues for film casting in pursuit of potential opportunities to act in films. He revealed that he was present as a crowd artist among the crowd which was gathered at the shooting location of
''Idhayam'' (1991) and ''
Aranmanai'' (2014).
His first role that got him recognition was in
''Sethupathi'' (2016), where he plays the role of an investigation officer.
