Is Sivakarthikeyan’s SK25 in trouble due to a director-actor dispute?
Actor Sivakarthikeyan who recently earned praise for his role in Amaran has been busy preparing for his upcoming project SK25, directed by Sudha Kongara. However, recent reports suggest that there was a halt in the shooting of the film due to a disagreement between the actor and the director.
According to these reports, the issue started when Sudha Kongara asked Sivakarthikeyan to trim his beard for the shoot. The actor was surprised by this request as he had been previously instructed to maintain his current look. Sudha Kongara explained that his beard resembled the style worn by actor Karthi in the movie Paruthiveeran. This comparison reportedly upset Sivakarthikeyan and he walked off the set without responding. Sources also claim that he stopped communicating with the director after this incident.

It’s important to note that these are only speculative reports, and there has been no official confirmation about the conflict. Fans are hoping that the matter will be resolved soon, as they are excited for the collaboration between the two.
There were earlier rumors suggesting that actors Jayam Ravi and Vishal were in the running for the antagonist role in SK25. However, these reports remain unconfirmed as the movie has yet to be officially announced.
In another interesting turn of events, some reports suggest that SK25 could be a revival of Sudha Kongara’s earlier project with actor Suriya, titled Purananooru, which was shelved in the past. If true, this could bring a fresh perspective to the movie. Additionally, actress Sreeleela is rumored to be cast opposite Sivakarthikeyan in this anticipated project.
Sivakarthikeyan’s recent film Amaran, directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, received widespread acclaim for its powerful performances and compelling storyline. This biographical war drama impressed audiences and critics alike.
