Sivan said the shooting began last month.
 
"We have completed half of the shoot and we plan to finish the shoot by end of next month," Sivan told IANS on the phone.
 
The film, which is being put out by Bradford International Film Associates Limited. will be ready for release next year.
 

Sivan said the cast includes Harvey Keital, Gabriel Byrne and loads of British and Asian actors.
