Sivakarthikeyan's Don will be helmed by Cibi Chakaravarthi. Actor Sivakarthikeyan on Monday announced a new project, which will be bankrolled by Subaskaran of Lyca Productions. The film has been titled Don, and it will mark the directorial debut of Cibi Chakaravarthi.
Before venturing out on his own, Cibi worked as an assistant to director Atlee. “10 years of dream, 7 years of hardship, 3 years of waiting, for 1 day & that is today! (sic),” wrote Cibi on his Twitter account, following the announcement of the film.
The teaser suggests that Don is likely to be a campus-based drama full of romance, comedy and fun. It is not clear yet whether Sivakarthikeyan would play the role of a professor or a student. Composer Anirudh Ravichander will score the music for the film.
“Music by my dearest Rockstar @anirudhofficial Partying face It’s always an extra happiness to join with a debutant Director (sic),” tweeted Sivakarthikeyan.
