We haven’t seen much of Shiva since last July’s Tamizh Padam 2 . We now know why!

The actor was spending his time penning the script and screenplay for his next movie. Of course, with Shiva expect nothing than a comedy film. The actor confirms the news. “Yes, I had been working on a script for my movie for the last eight months,” says Shiva, who reveals that the shoot for the film is nearing completion as well.

Produced by Isari K Ganesh under the Vels Film International banner, the film titled Sumo stars Priya Anand, VTV Ganesh and Yogi Babu in crucial roles. Shiva says that the film also stars a Japanese sumo wrestler, Yoshinori Tashiro. Says VTV Ganesh, who is also co-producing the film, “It is a big budget project and the story unfolds in both India and Japan.” The film is directed by one-time S Shankar’s assistant, S P Hosimin. Cinematography is by Rajiv Menonwhile Nivas K Prasanna scores the music.

Meanwhile, Shiva adds that he is looking to write for all his future films. “It is something I want to do because I’ve always wanted to be a director. I hope it happens soon.”
