Sivakarthikeyan is gearing up for the release of Rajini Murugan while shooting for the untitled comedy flick with Bakkiyaraj Kannan. Meanwhile, he has signed his next project with producer AM Ratnam under the banner Shri Sai Raam Creations who had recently ventured with Vedhalam.

The actor has signed on the auspicious Thursday (November 12) as requested by the producer. The director is anticipated to be Vignesh Shivan but there is no signing took place between them. So the official news is awaited.

After making his directorial debut with Simbu starrer ‘Poda Podi’, Vignesh Sivan made his presence felt in a big way in his second venture, the Vijay Sethupathi starrer ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’, which is still running strong in the box-office braving the Deepavali storm.

Now the young filmmaker seems to have decided on his next. If sources are to be believed, his third film will feature Sivakarthikeyan as the protagonist, and it will be a youthful commercial entertainer.

It is said that A M Rathnam would produce the yet untitled movie and music will be composed by Anirudh, who is a good friend of both Vignesh Sivan and Sivakarthikeyan. A top actress is tipped to be the heroine.

“Sivakarthikeyan is currently shooting for director Bhagyaraj Kannan’s film which is being produced by his friend Raja. After finishing it, he will commence shooting for Vignesh Sivan movie,” sources said.

There is also another buzz that Siruthai Siva will be directing this movie as like the team of Vedhalam carried down. So the further developments can be expected only after the wrapping up of the ongoing ones for Sivakarthikeyan.
