Career
Sridhar made his full acting debut in K.

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 chorepgrapher 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]
