The images also showcase the sets adorned with balloons, enhancing the celebratory mood on Sivakarthikeyan’s special day. The highlight of the festivities was a biryani party organised by the actor for everyone involved in the production. In the heartwarming snapshots, Sivakarthikeyan is seen personally serving biryani to the crew members. SK23 marks Sivakarthikeyan’s maiden collaboration with AR Murugadoss, renowned for his directorial ventures like Thupakki and Ghajini. In the movie, Rukmini Vasanth, acclaimed for her role in Sapta Sagaradaache Ello, shares the screen as the female lead opposite Sivakarthikeyan. Given Rukmini’s rising popularity after the box-office success of her Kannada film, this new collaboration between her and Sivakarthikeyan holds tremendous promise.

Furthermore, Sivakarthikeyan fans received an additional treat on his birthday with the revelation of the title of his upcoming Rajkumar Periyasamy project, Amaran. The teaser video for the film has already begun to gain traction online.

In the teaser, Sivakarthikeyan portrays the late Major Mukund Varadarajan, commander of the 44 Rashtriya Rifles Cheetah Company in the Indian Army. The gripping 90-second teaser showcases the Major preparing his troops for a perilous counterterrorism mission amidst escalating tensions in the war on terror. Major Mukund tragically lost his life in combat with militants in Shopian, Kashmir, in April 2014. He was posthumously awarded the nation’s highest peacetime gallantry honour, the Ashok Chakra, for his exemplary valour and sacrifice.
