But what the world doesn’t know is the fact that he’s an ace actor as well.

Thanks to this amazing song of his we came across recently, this hidden talent of his uncovered.

The song called Life Is features in a 1987 romantic Telugu movie called Padamati Sandhya Ragam.

And it features an almost unrecognizable Sivamani.

Probably because he’s playing an African-American in the movie.

The film is about an Indian girl falling in love with an American man.

And guess who played the American man in the film.

Thomas Jane.

Thomas Jane who?

Well, Thomas Jane who’s acted in movies like Deep Blue Sea, The Mist and Boogie Nights.

He’ll be next seen in The Predator reboot.

Padamati Sandhya Ragam marked his debut as an actor.

IMHO, nothing conveys a lover’s pain like this song does.

Just take a look at the soulful lyrics.

Beautiful, isn’t it?
