S. Ve. Sheker was born on 26 Dec 1950 as Sattanathapuram Venkataraman Sheker. He is a popular tamil film and stage drama actor, and currently the Mylapore MLA(AIADMK party). He is a Diploma holder in Mechanical Engineering, with a Post-Diploma in Airconditioning and Refrigeration. He is also a sound recordist, programme producer, stillphotographer, videographer, editor and director.
An expert in broadcast, sound effects and theatrics, he won the Best All India Programme Producer Award for four years in a row from RAPA (Radio & Television Advertisers & Producers Association). As a photographer, his colour transparencies have adorned the cover pages of popular Tamil magazines. Encouraged by the success of a Singapore drama tour in 1973, he formed his drama troupe natakhapriya which has so far staged about a score of plays, commanding over 3800 shows. Also his troupe displayed its talents in various countries all over the world including United States, Europe, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and United Arab Emirates.
Sheker's telefilms VANNAKOLANGAL and NAM KUDUMBAM created sensations warranting retelecast as serials, attracting the young and the old alike to the small screen.
Starting eight full length plays at one go, from 7.47a.m. to 1.49a.m. of the following day, Sheker performed a record of sorts in April 1985. While this is acknowledged an unsurpassed feat of a stage artiste in the Limca Book of Records, Sheker credits this to his audience and fellow artistes. The Mylapore Academy adjudged him THE BEST COMEDIAN for three years in succession. Magazine WISDOM chose him as the 1990s Best Comedian, the Jaycees honoured him as THE OUTSTANDING YOUTH.Awards galore, the state's prestigious KALAIVANAR AWARD, Iyal Isai Nataka Mandram's KALAI MAAMANI AWARD and BEST DRAMA TROUPE AWARD have only made him much more committed and devoted to the realm of arts and the society.
Taking his technical proviso along with histrionics, he produced recently a unique television show, a real treat, "S.Ve. Sheker meets S.Ve. Sheker", where he is both the interviewer and interviewee.
Prior to that Sheker had two comedy serials on television (Doordarshan), one of which was titled called Vanna Kolangal (co-starring Kutty Padmini). There has not been a comparable comedy on television since then, despite the proliferation of Channels. Some of the title accorded by Sabhas and other agencies DRAMA SUPERSTAR, COMEDY KING, SIRIPPALAI CHIRPI, NATAKHA VASOOL CHAKRAVARTHY, NAGAICHUVAI NAYAGAN, NAGAICHUVAI THENRAL, NAGAICHUVAI ILAVARASAN aptly portray his qualities as humourist.An extrovert, he easily mixes with others. He is happily married to Uma, and the Shekers have a daughter Anuradha and son Ashwin.
Sheker made his debut in the celluloid in 1980 with Director K. Balachander's "VARUMAIYIN NIRAM SIGAPPU" and since then has acted in over 70 Tamil films. Popular Tamil Movies Acted: Manalkairu, Poovey poochoodava, Kadhaanayagan, Sagadevan Mahadevan, and Jeans.
