Actor Sivakarthikeyan, on the other hand, said the untitled project is going to be path breaking film of his career. “It’s a project filled with multiple emotions for me. Kamal Haasan sir is a master craftsman of Indian Cinema. Infact he’s an international icon living amidst us. To work on a project in which this iconic legend is the producer, itself is a great feeling for me. Sony Pictures Films India is again a global brand who have their humongous success tag right there along their name. I’m very happy to be working along them. And all this has become possible today, only due to my friend, director Rajkumar Periasamy and his script. I firmly believe this project is a going to be a very important film in my career. I’m personally very excited for this film and looking forward to the shoot,” he stated.
The film marks the 51st production of RKFI, 50th being Vikram starring Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Sony Pictures Films India joins the project as the co-producers. This is their first Tamil film. Previously, Sony Pictures Films India backed Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Malayalam film Nine. They are also co-producing Mahesh Babu’s forthcoming Telugu film, Major.
