SK 25 launched: Sivakarthikeyan, Jayam Ravi and Atharva to team up for Sudha Kongara’s next

After a long wait, the most anticipated update has been announced! The much-awaited collaboration between Sivakarthikeyan and acclaimed filmmaker Sudha Kongara has finally been officiated.

SK 25 offcially kick started

Sivakarthikeyan, after winning hearts with his last performance in Amaran, is all set to play the lead in Sudha Kongara's most anticipated project. For the unversed, prior to Sivakarthikeyan, the project was originally set to be led by Suriya, with Dulquer Salmaan and Nazriya roped in for key roles in the film. However, the initially planned collaboration got shelved. Later, Sudha Kongara revamped the entire cast, bringing in Sivakarthikeyan, Jayam Ravi, Atharvaa, and Sreeleela on board. Interestingly, the film marks the Tamil debut of Telugu sensation Sreeleela.

The originally planned project with Suriya was reportedly titled Purananuru, although an official announcement is awaited to confirm whether the makers will retain the same title or choose another one for SK 25.
