Confirmed! Sivakarthikyean's 'SK 20' will hit theaters on August 31
We have an update regarding Tamil actor Sivakarthikeyan's (SK) next film, tentatively titled SK 20. The latest announcement is that the Shanthi Talkies-backed film will hit the marquee on August 31 this year. The movie is directed by Telugu director Anudeep KV, whose project Jathi Ratnalu has fans across the country. Notably, SK 20 would mark SK's debut in Tollywood.
Why does this story matter?
Doctor, released in 2021, was Sivakarthikeyan's breakthrough film. The film's humongous success broke the actor's failure streak that had started with Hero, Namma Veettu Pillai, and Mr. Local, all of which got released in 2019. And, his recently released Don has also been receiving positive responses from his fans. So, updates about all his upcoming films are making the headlines.
'SK 20' makers also congratulated actor for 'Don's success
The makers shared a statement on Monday, congratulating the actor for the success of his Don. They wrote, "The entire SK20 team congratulates Sivakarthikeyan on the blockbuster success of Don." Along with this, the release date was announced. "SK 20 starring Sivakarthikeyan, Maria, Sathyaraj, and others, directed by Anudeep KV, with music by S Thaman, will have its theatrical release on 31st August 2022."
