Jiva who played role of Srikanth in Hindi film 83 announced his next film on his 37th birthday. It is Varalaru Mukkiyam, produced by his father R B Chowdury and directed by Santosh Rajan. Jiva revealed how he got the 83 film role -
I played CCL matches which took place between our actors. Everyone knows. But the producer of the film, Vishnu Induri, is an owner of the company that ran the competition. When he was planning to take this picture, he remembered me for Srikanth role. I had e hit a cover drive during the CCL match. It was just like Srikanth played. That shot, made Balwinder Singh and Vishnu Induri to have chosen me after watching. It was actually playing in that tournament that bought me this opportunity. I just want to thank the bowler who bowled.
