It is never easy being in the middle. At the top, you think you are in with a chance to really make it big.

At the bottom, you can give up hope of being in the race any more. But in the middle, you cannot really make up your mind --- a case of being neither one thing nor the other.

Actor Sivaji must understand this feeling. He is a hero who has not had many great hits on his own. Yet there are producers and directors to cast him as hero for their films.

His last film has been running just about moderately. But director Shyam Prasad has also signed him for his next film. Ravichand is the producer.

The movie was announced this week and will hit the floors later this month. Ramana Gogula is scoring the music for this action-packed film.

"It is a first of a kind film for me," says Sivaji,visibly happily at having got an opportunity to try something new. Others in the cast include Rahul Dev, Brahmanandam, Ali, Tanikella Bharani.

A search is on for the heroine. And Sivaji himself is on a search for a big hit to make his career path clearer.
