Starting from the 1980s, when India's state television channel [[Doordarshan]] began broadcasting in [[Tamil language|Tamil]], Srinivasan has played prominent roles in television operas and presented documentaries. He is still active on television playing supporting roles in two television soaps - ''Aval'', broadcast on [[Vijay TV]] and ''Suryaputri'' on [[Kalaignar TV]] and occasionally, plays small parts on the stage as well.<br />
