He again produced Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela.[5] He won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut for his Tamil debut Neram (2013).[6] In 2015, Nivin won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor for his performances in Bangalore Days and 1983.[7][8] He won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Malayalam for Action Hero Biju in 2016.[9] In 2020, he won the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor -Special Mention for his performance in Moothon.

Early life

Nivin was born into a Syrian Christian family from Aluva, Ernakulam on 11 October 1984.[10] Nivin's father, Pauly Bonaventure, was a mechanic who worked in Aarau, Switzerland and his mother was a nurse at a Swiss hospital. Nivin, who was brought up in Kerala, visited them in Aarau during his vacations, where they stayed for 25 years.[11] He graduated with a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering from Federal Institute of Science and Technology (FISAT), Angamaly in 2006.[12] Nivin was employed at Infosys in Bangalore through campus placements and worked as a software engineer from 2006 to 2008.[13] However, he resigned and returned home after his father's death.[14][15]

Career

Nivin with Sivakarthikeyan and Vikram at Iru Mugan Movie Audio Launch.

Nivin applied for the audition of Malarvaadi Arts Club, but was not included in the 12 shortlisted actors. However, when one dropped out, he was given a second chance to the audition, and got his debut role.[12][15] Since then, he had acted in the films The Metro[16] and Sevenes,[17] and had brief appearances in Traffic and Spanish Masala. He appeared in music video Nenjodu Cherthu from the album Yuvvh, what The Hindu called "a hugely popular" ,[15] and became a viral hit on YouTube.[18]

The 2012 film Thattathin Marayathu was his acting vehicle,[14][19] which became the biggest hit of the year.[20][21] After Thattathin Marayathu, he was called "the current youth sensation"[19] and "hot property".[14] He received offers from directors including Sathyan Anthikad, Rajesh Pillai, Aashiq Abu and Shyamaprasad.[22] Nivin made his debut in Tamil with the bilingual film Neram.[20] His other Malayalam films in 2013 include Anju Sundarikal and Sunil Ibrahim's Arikil Oraal.

In 2014, he appeared in Abrid Shine's directorial debut 1983, where he played the role of Rameshan.[23] It was followed with debutant Jude Anthany Joseph's romantic comedy Ohm Shanthi Oshaana, in which he portrayed the role Giri. It was released a week after 1983. His next release Bangalore Days was directed by Anjali Menon. In the same year, he played an extended cameo in the Lal Jose film Vikramadithyan. In 2015, Nivin appeared in Mili, Oru Vadakkan Selfie and Ivide . He then acted in Premam, where he played the role of George David. It grossed over 600 million, and went on to become one of the highest grossing Malayalam movies.[24][25][26]

Nivin appeared in his first straight Tamil feature film through Gautham Ramachandran's crime drama Richie (2017), where he portrayed a small town thug.[27] The film opened to mixed reviews and had an average response commercially, prompting other proposed Tamil films with debutant directors Suryaa Balakumaran and Prabhu Radhakrishnan to be shelved.[28][29] His big budget movie "Kayamkulam Kochunni (2018 film)" made a huge impact in kerala boxoffice . Nivin's Love Action Drama got mixed reviews but this film too got a good collection from theatres . Nivin next appeared in Geetu Mohandas' film Moothon . Nivin will appear on screen as Mattanjery Moidu soon in Rajeev Ravi film "Thuramukham (2021 film)". His upcoming projects are Padavettu, Bismi Special, Mahaveeryar, Kanakam Kamini Kalaham, Gangster of Mundanmala, Thaaram.
