The actor has collaborated with Kamal in many films, including Vikram (1986), Sathya, Michael Madana Kama Rajan, to name a few. RS Shivaji, was mainly known to play comic and supporting roles. His dialogue, “Sir! Neenga Engeyo Poiteenga, sir” from the Kamal Haasan-starrer Apoorva Sagodharargal has become a sort of parody.
