Actor Siva Karthikeyan had last starred in Mr Local directed by M Rajesh and co-starring Nayanthara, and following the box office failure of the movie, his second production venture, Nenjamundu Nermaiyundu Odu Raja starring Rio Raj and directed by Karthik had released.

Currently Siva Karthikeyan is acting in two movies simultaneously, and they are Hero directed by Irumbuthirai maker PS Mithran and SK16 directed Pandiaj. While Hero is said to be planned as a Christmas release, SK16 is expected to release in September.

It has been revealed that Siva Karthikeyan is all set to begin shooting for his next movie, which will be directed by Kolamaavu Kokila director Nelson Dilipkumar, from September. Nelson had recently announced casting call for the movie, for which Vignesh Shivn and Anirudh jokingly tweeted if they can get a role. Nelson happens to be Siva Karthikeyan's friend since Vijay TV days, and Siva had played a character named Nelson Dilipkumar in his first production Kanaa.
