Shane Nigam

Thanthonni (2010) gave Shane Nigam his first screen appearance, and Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi and Annayum Rasoolum, where he played Anna's brother, came after it. Born in Kochi on 21 December 1995, the Malayalam actor is the son of the late actor and mimicry artist Kalabhavan Abi. He went to school at Bhavans Vidya Mandir in Elamakkara and later studied engineering at Rajagiri School of Engineering & Technology, Kochi. Kismath (2016), opposite Shruthy Menon, moved him into leading roles. In 2017 he had a central part alongside Amala and Manju Warrier in C/O Saira Banu and also appeared in Parava, a film that proved successful. The romance Eeda (2018) drew good reviews from critics. Two 2019 films stood out: Kumbalangi Nights, a comedy-drama that succeeded at the box office and won wide critical praise, and the romantic thriller Ishq. His later credits include the action film RDX: Robert Dony Xavier (2023), which also did well at the box office and gave him another commercial success.
