Official: Sivakarthikeyan and Arjun team up for Irumbuthirai director’s next

We had earlier reported about Sivakarthikeyan teaming up with ‘Irumbuthirai’ director PS Mithran for a thriller film. Veteran actor Arjun will be playing a major role in the movie and RD Raja’s 24 AM Studios will be funding it. The project was officially announced last day by Sivakarthikeyan through his social media handle. He has tweeted,

Happy to share tat my next film wil be wit this talented team @Psmithran @george_dop @AntonyLRuben @RDRajaofficial Excited to work wit @thisisysr sir & @akarjunofficial sir @24AMSTUDIOS #SK15

This is Sivakarthikeyan’s first film with Arjun and it will be interesting to see them together on-screen. The latter had recently played the villain role in ‘Irumbuthirai’ and his performance was widely appreciated. Director Mithran’s debut work was praised by the critics and he was declared as a sensible filmmaker to watch out for.

According to him, his new film with Sivakarthikeyan will also be a thriller with a very relevant social message in it. George C Willaims will be cranking the camera and Ruben will be handling the edits. Yuvan Shankar Raja has been signed as the music director. The movie will start rolling next year once Sivakarthikeyan is free from his other commitments.
