After being postponed multiple times, it looks like director Kannan's Kasethan Kadavulada is finally set to hit screens.

The original film, directed by theatreperson Chitralaya Gopu, had Muthuraman, Lakshmi, MRR Vasu, Thengai Srinivasan, Srikanth, Moorthy, Manorama, Rama Prabha and Jayakumari as part of the star cast. MS Vishwanathan scored the music, while KS Bhaskar handled the cinematography and R Gopu, was in charge of editing. The film was bankrolled by AVM Productions.

Shiva, in the meantime, has Sumo, Saloon and Golmaal in his kitty. All these films are said to be comedy capers, something which Shiva is known for.
