I cherish the time spent with Vivekh sir: Shiva on ‘LOL: Enga Siri Paappom’

Actor Shiva on teaming up with late actor Vivekh to host the Tamil comedy reality show, ‘LOL: Enga Siri Paappom’

Shiva’s upcoming Tamil film is Kasethan Kadavulada. The title translates to ‘money is God’. But that isn’t what the actor subscribes to, in the pandemic-ridden world we live in today. “Love and humour; these are the two things that the world needs today. The basic necessity for everyone is happiness,” says Shiva, over a virtual conversation from the set of Kasethan Kadavulada. Shiva is trying to spread humour through LOL: Enga Siri Paappom, an unscripted comedy reality show that drops on Amazon Prime Video on August 27. Featuring ten comedians who share a common roof for six hours, the concept behind the show is that, you win if you make others laugh but do not laugh yourself. Shiva, who judges and hosts the show, explains, “Imagine there is food kept near you, and you haven’t bothered much about it. The minute someone draws your attention to it and says, ‘Please do not eat it,’ you will be tempted to. LOL is a bit like that for contestants.”
