It has been quite a while since we saw Mirchi Shiva on the big screens. Yes, he was last seen in the CS Amudhan directed spoof film, Tamizh Padam 2, which came out in July 2018. After a gap of more than a year, the fans are all set to witness Shiva through his upcoming film, Sumo, which is based on the Sumo Wrestling sport. This comedy drama film is directed by S.P.Hosimin of Aayiram Vilakku fame. Ace cinematographer turned director Rajiv Menon has handled the visuals of Sumo and this has indeed given a reason for the film buffs to catch the film in the theatres.

The exact release date is yet to be locked and we will get clarity on that in the coming days. We have Superstar Rajinikanth's Darbar scheduled to hit the screens for Pongal and that is sure to get a majority of the screens, considering the buzz, expectations and the star image.
