‘16’, Shiva’s debut film as a solo hero, goes on floors today on November 3, 2008. The first schedule of the shoot has started in East Coast Road involving Shiva, ‘Darbuga’ Shiva, Madhu Shalini in the scenes. Shiva and ‘Darbuga’ Shiva worked together as Radio Jockey in a familiar FM channel and Madhu Shalini is a sizzling starlet from Tollywood who enters Tamil filmdom through this film.

‘16’ is the maiden production venture of ‘Passion Movie Makers’ of Siva Sankar. Saba, whose earlier films include ‘V.I.P’, ‘Punnagai Poove’ among others and is currently directing A.V.M’s ‘A Aa E Ee’ and Bhoomika’s ‘Maa’, directs this flick too.

Yuvan Shankar Raja, the ace music director and a close friend of Shiva scores the music for his film. After ‘16’, Shiva features in a yet-to-be-titled film which would be produced by Yuvan himself.
