Sivaji Ganesan was born on October 1st, 1928 in Villupuram as Ganesamoorthy. Ganesan, who entered the theatre world at the age of 7, played child and female roles before moving on to play lead roles. In December 1945, Ganesan made a name for himself with his theatrical portrayal of 17th-century Indian King Shivaji. Ever since, he has been called Sivaji’ Ganesan because of the way he portrayed the king, in a way nobody has done in the past.

He made his film debut with Parasakthi in 1952. He has starred in over 300 films in a career spanning over five decades. Ganesan was honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1997.
