Sivapathigaram - Action without violence: Director Karu Palaniappan is busy giving a final shape to Sivapathigaram. Starring Vishal, fresh from the success of Thimiru and Malayalam girl Mamta Mohandas in the lead roles, the movie is an action-packed entertainer.

The director began with a bang in Parthiban Kanavu. But lost his way in his second Sathurangam, which is still lying in the cans.

Keen to bounce back, Karu Palaniappan is giving his heart-out for Sivapathigaram. Asked whether the movie reflects Communist ideas, No was the reply from Karu Palaniappan. ‘The title may look so, but the story isn't. It is an action movie sans any gory or violent scenes.’

Vishal has established an action-hero image for himself and Raghuvaran after a long-gap makes his comeback. They have given the movie life and blood, he adds. Another highlight is Vidyasagar, who has come up with six chartbusters with four based on folk tunes.
