Prakash Raj, Shaam and Sridevika in Sivamayam

Produced and directed by Sanjairam under the banner of Lingam Theatres, the film will feature Prakashraj, Shaam and Sridevika.

Prakashraj will be like Dronacharya in the epic 'Mahabharatha' and Shaam will be like Arjuna of the Pandava clan. The story revolves around these two main characters. In short, it is a battle between the evil forces and those who are virtuous.

The film will be set in the background of some important incidents that Chennai has witnessed over the last five years. What were those incidents will be suspense for the present.

Shaam will play his role in three get-ups. He will wear a mustache in some scenes and a beard in some others. In the third get-up, he will resemble actor Surya as he looked in "Nanda" with short-cut hair.

Prakashraj's role is not one of villain. He will play a patriarch.

Sridevika will don the role of a village girl named Poovarasi while Meghna Nair will be featured as 'Side-dish Saraswathi'

The film will be ready for release in August, according to sources.
