Murugadoss said that he was impressed by Rukmini’s performance in another film and felt that she was more suitable for the role than Mrunal.

The film also has the ensemble technical crew from Rockstar Anirudh as the music composer, Sudeep Elaman as the cinematographer.

The film’s pooja launch ceremony took place today, with the presence of the cast and crew.

Another exciting name that has been approached for SK23 is Vidyut Jammwal, the action star of Bollywood, who is known for his stunts and martial arts skills.

The film is said to be bankrolled by Sathya Jyothi Films. It will be interesting to witness the duo's collaboration, as they are both known for their witty performances.

The film's shooting will begin once Sivakarthikeyan wraps up his work on 'SK21', directed by Rajkumar Periasamy.

" I’m extremely delighted to join with you for my 23rd film and I’m double delighted after listening to your narration,"

He also last seen in Maveeran, directed by Madonne Ashwin, which garnered over 75 crores.

The film is produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin under his banner Red Giant Movies. It is slated to release in June this year. It will be Udhayanidhi’s final film as an actor before he takes up a full-fledged political career.

"If someone announces the release date of a film even before starting the shoot, there is a 50 percent chance that the film is already a flop."
