Life is a strange amalgam of good, bad and the indifferent.

Actor Sivaji will be hard-pressed to say what it is really now.

His career, with no big hits to speak of recently, had hit a road block of sorts recently.

Yet, he is hoping that things will turn around soon. He is expecting his Adirindayya Chandram, set for release this month, may do the trick for him.

It is a gritty film for him with plenty of oomph in the form of Laya and Sangeetha.

Adirindayya Chandram, he hopes, will paint new colors of success for him.

In the interregnum, his confidence has got a major boost in the form of a new film.

Trade reports have it that he has been roped in to play a pivotal character in Venkaesh's film for Selvaraghavan.

Though the film, tentatively christened Adavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule, is still some time away, Sivaji, it is said, has been cast in an important role. The film also stars Sonia Agarwal.

It is obviously a mixed time for Sivaji. Life is good, bad and indifferent, he would agree.
