Siva Karthikeyan seems to be on a mission in Kollywood. The televison anchor-turned-actor, after playing the lead role in Marina and a crucial role in Dhanush's 3, is playing hero in Manam Kothi Paravai.

Directed by Ezhil of Thulladha Manamum Thullum and Poovellam Un Vaasam fame, the movie has Mollywood girl Aathmiya playing the female lead.

'The movie has turned out really well and I would like all to watch it and give me feedback',  Siva stated.

He adds, 'It is a beautiful village love story. Even today in villages, youngsters who are in love are scared of their parents. They meet secretly without the parents' knowledge and face hurdles. It deals with such issues with humour. The film is slated for a summer release.'

Apart from Manam Kothi Paravai, Siva Karthikeyan has signed a new film, to be produced jointly by A R Murugadoss's ARM Productions and Fox Star. It will be helmed by Atlee, a former associate to Shankar.
