Siva, a popular cinematographer made his debut as director through ‘Souryam’. The film was just an average film, After that he again directed a film titled ‘Sankham’ with Gopichand as hero, but that film did not do well.

However, Siva wielded the megaphone for a Tamil film ‘Sirutai’ with Karthi and Tamanna in the lead and that was proved a blockbuster. While enjoying the success of his Tamil film, Siva penned an entertaining story with action in its backdrop and reportedly approached Raviteja and impressed him with his storyline.

Presently the Mass Mahraja had accepted to do ‘Nippu’ whose shooting was launched formally recently.

If everything goes well, and Siva could capture a producer to make the film, it would go to sets after Raviteja completes the present project on hand.
