Exclusive! Sivakarthikeyan has no plans to quit Sudha Kongara leadership | Tamil cinema news

After the massive success of ‘Amaran’, Sivakarthikeyan is working on his film with AR Murugadoss, and the film has been tentatively titled ‘SK 23‘. Sivakarthikeyan strengthens his squad and he would team up with ‘Soorarai Pottru‘ by director Sudha Kongar for his 25th film. But the latest report shocked fans by claiming that Sivakarthikeyan had given up on his plans to team up with Sudha Kongara.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, director Sudha Kongara asked Sivakarthikeyan to cut his beard for the test shoot of their upcoming film. This request reportedly surprised the actor, as the director had previously asked him to maintain the same bearded look. When Sivakarthikeyan raised his concern, the filmmaker reportedly remarked that his beard resembled the style Karthi had shown in Paruthiveeran. Hearing this comparison, the actor would have chosen to remain silent and would have left the set. Following the incident, Sivakarthikeyan reportedly stopped responding to the principal’s calls and messages altogether.
But when we tried to confirm the latest report, a source close to the actor said in an exclusive chat with ETimes that these claims are baseless. There is no misunderstanding between Sivakarthikeyan and director Sudha Kongara. Pre-production work on the film is progressing smoothly, with efforts currently focused on preparations for promotional and test filming. Both the actor and the director are fully committed to making the project take off smoothly.
The official announcement on ‘SK 25’ is expected to be made at the right time, while Sreeleela, Jayam Ravi and Atharvaa have reportedly joined the cast of the film.
