As noted earlier he won Nandi award for dubbing for the film Dil. Sivaji's first success as a solo hero came with the film Missamma. He acted in many films as a leading protagonist but failed to reach star status. After many years of struggle he once said in an interview that some of the leading actresses will not work with him. He also said in the interview that even after ten years of being in the Telugu industry his films were having trouble releasing on time. He himself released a few of his films, notably Taj Mahal.
