On Sunday, the makers of Sivakarthikeyan's upcoming movie, currently called SK23, announced that Vidyut Jammwal has joined the cast. Directed by AR Murugadoss and also starring Rukmini Vasanth, the film is also known as SKxARM.
Vidyut previously worked with AR Murugadoss in the 2012 film Thuppakki, where he played the villain opposite Vijay. He is expected to play the villain in this new film as well.
Announcing his addition to the cast, the makers posted on X, "Bringing back the villain who terrorized everyone." They also shared a video showing the actor on the film's set.
SK23 marks the first collaboration between Sivakarthikeyan and director AR Murugadoss, although Murugadoss had previously written the sports-comedy film Maan Karate, which starred Sivakarthikeyan and was directed by Krish Thirukumaran. The team recently began filming the second schedule of the film.
Prasad N.V. produced the film, which has a technical group that includes cinematographer Sudeep Elamon and editor A. Sreekar Prasad, and music director Anirudh Ravichander.
