Stunt director Silva has made his directorial debut with Chithirai Sevvaanam, which will premiere on Zee5 on December 3. The film, produced by Vijay, Chithirai Sevvanam will feature Samuthirakani, Rima Kallingal, and Pooja Kannan in lead roles.
In a statement, producer-director Vijay said, "Samuthirakani-Pooja Kannan starrer Chithirai Sevvaanam directed by Stunt Silva is premiering on ZEE5 from December 3, 2021, onwards. This film is special to all of us in the team of Chithirai Sevvaanam. In 2014, I got a spark of an idea that pushed me to craft the story. In 2020, during the Lockdown, I happened to discuss the story with Silva during our casual conversation, and he liked it a lot. I suggested he direct the movie. Usually, stunt choreographers tend to get inclined towards action blocks, but Stunt Silva is an emotional person. He is a pure-hearted person and is consistently involved in philanthropic activities. I strongly felt that he would do justice to this film as a filmmaker and will handle this story elegantly. I have worked with Silva master in many movies after Thalaivaa. Whenever I narrate him an action block, he will come up with the adequate emotions it demands. I clearly understood that he has a filmmaker quality inherently, and he has proved it perfectly with this movie. Silva's master took complete responsibility for nurturing and materializing this film. Samuthirakani sir is the soul of this film. When we approached him, he instantly accepted to be a part of this project without any second thoughts or suggestions in the script. Sai Pallavi’s sister Pooja Kannan has delivered a colossal performance in this movie. Despite being a successful actress’ sister, she took this project seriously, underwent complete acting training, and has given an impeccable performance in this movie. I thank Rima Kallingal for accepting our offer, and she has given the best in her role. Sam CS is the backbone of this film. Both the cinematographers Manoj Paramhamsa and Venkatesh have done an outstanding job with the visuals. I thank Zee5 for banking their trust in our film and getting it streamed on their reputed platform. The film has a beautiful plot and conveys a good message, which I believe is the need of this hour. Silva master will be acclaimed as one of the topmost filmmakers in the Indian film industry after this movie release. I am glad to be a part of this prestigious project.”
