    Film career

    [edit]

    Nigam made his acting debut with the film Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi , but was noted for Annayum Rasoolum for portraying the role of Anna's (Andrea Jeremiah) brother.[4] Later Rajeev Ravi offered him the lead role in Njan Steve Lopez but didn't take up the role.

    He made his debut as a lead actor in 2016 film, Kismath opposite to Shruthy Menon. Producer of the film Rajeev Ravi offered him the lead role, his character won praise among the Malayali audience and the movie was a commercial success.[5]

    Nigam played a central character alongside veteran actors Amala and Manju Warrier in the 2017 film C/O Saira Banu.[6] The following year, he appeared in the romantic film Eeda which was also praised by critics.[7]

    Nigam starred in two films in 2019; the comedy-drama Kumbalangi Nights, which was highly successful on box office and received rave reviews from film critics and the romantic thriller Ishq.[8]

    By the end of 2019, Shane received a death threat from Malayalam film producer Joby George, which the actor shared through Facebook live, causing controversy.[9] The issue seemed to have been resolved through mediation from AMMA. However, he affected the continuity of the movie Veyil, by getting a haircut, leading to producers calling for a ban on the actor.[10][11]
