According to a report by Valai Pechu, Sivakarthikeyan is next set to collaborate with Good Night fame Vinayak Chandrasekhar for his 24th movie.

Siva Karthikeyan’s Box Office journey – Rs 885 Crore so far, Amaran soars, Madharasi Next!

Siva Karthikeyan’s rise in Indian cinema has been nothing short of a cinematic roller coaster — from his humble beginnings to becoming one of Tamil cinema’s most bankable stars today. Known for his versatility as an actor, playback singer, lyricist, film producer, and television presenter, Siva has cemented his place not just in Tamil cinema, but also won the hearts of Telugu audiences through his dubbed hits like Doctor, Don, and the recent blockbuster Amaran. The 40-year-old star first stepped into the film industry in 2012 with Marina, a small-budget film made for under Rs 1 crore. Back then, no one could have predicted the heights he would reach. His breakthrough came in 2019 with Mr. Local, which collected Rs 25 crore at the box office. From there, his career gained momentum with successful films like Namma Veettu Pillai and Doctor, marking his official entry into the elite Rs 100 crore club. However, like every star’s journey, Siva faced his share of ups and downs. Experimental projects like Ayalaan didn’t quite hit the mark, but …

Madharasi: Sivakarthikeyan dropped THIS title for his film with AR Murugadoss due to Rajinikanth; know what happened

Sivakarthikeyan enthralled his fans recently with his jaw-dropping avatar and rugged look in the teaser of his upcoming film Madharasi. Marking his first collaboration with director AR Murugadoss, the movie is one of the most anticipated projects of the actor. However, it is now being reported that Madharasi wasn’t the first choice of title for the movie. According to the 123 Telugu report, the makers of the movie were initially considering the name Hunter for their project, as they felt it was apt for the theme of the movie. However, it was Sivakarthikeyan who let go of the same, owing to his deep respect for Rajinikanth. For the uninitiated, last year Rajinikanth’s film Vettaiyan was released in theaters. The title Vettaiyan translates to Hunter in Tamil. As a result, SK did not wish to contest the position for the same name. Later on, it was AR Murugadoss who finalized the name Madharasi, which is a common terminology used by the north Indians to refer to people from the southern states of the country.  Opening up …
