Director P. Vasu is remaking in Tamil his Kannada blockbuster ‘Sivalinga’ with the same title with Raghava Lawrence and Ritika Singh as the lead pair replacing Shivarajkumar and Vedhika in the original. Vadivelu is playing an important comedy role in the film.
The shooting of ‘Sivalinga’ went on for a few days in Mysore but due to the Kaveri issue, it was disrupted and the crew, including the hero and the heroine, were stuck in their hotel rooms fearing safety. The team has now decided to erect a set of the Lalith Mahal Palace in Chennai and continue the shoot.
