Sources close to the film confirmed the news and said an official announcement will be made soon.
The first schedule of shoot in Karaikudi wrapped up recently, and the team has started the second schedule in Theni. Sivakarthikeyan, who was in England to watch the world cup cricket match between India and Pakistan recently, is back in the country and has joined the shoot. The film was speculated to release during Pongal next year, but it seems like the makers will complete it before schedule.
Pitched as a rural family entertainer, the film reportedly stars Sivakarthikeyan as Aishwarya Rajesh’s brother and the story is said to be based on their relationship. Anu Emmanuel plays the lead opposite Sivakarthikeyan. Cinematographer Natty, directors Bharathirajaa and Samuthirakani will be seen in important roles. RK Suresh, Soori and Yogi Babu are also part of the cast.
D Imman is the music composer for the film, Nirav Shah is the cinematographer, Anthony Ruben is the editor and actor Veera Samar is the art director.
This is Pandiraj’s next after Kadaikutty Singam. The film is predominantly set in Karaikudi, and will now be out before Sivakarthikeyan’s sci-fi film Hero with director PS Mithran, which is reportedly scheduled for a Christmas release.
Meanwhile, director Vignesh Shivan has posted updates about SK17 on Instagram. He decided to travel to work on the script and said that the dialogues and screenplay are now complete. “I am fully in love with this story, and I’m all geared, loaded and ready to shoot SK17 very soon with my beloved team,” he said.
Aishwarya Rajesh, who was recently seen in Kanaa, has a number of films lined up for release including Dhruva Natchathiram, the Vada Chennai sequel, Mei, and the Telugu remake of Kanaa.
