Mirchi Shiva will be next seen playing the lead in the S.P. Hosimin-directed Sumo, in which the actor will be paired opposite Priya Anand while actors Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh and real-life Sumo wrestler Yoshinori Tashiro will also be playing supporting roles.
The film's quirky first look was released by actor, producer and director Venkat Prabhu in his official Twitter account, in which he remarked the interesting 'fruit Ninja' concept in the film:
Agila Ulaga superstar @actorshiva is now in a new avatar #Sumo !
Here is the Wacky #SumoFirstLook with a Fruit Ninja Abstract 😝
