In a massive update for Tamil cinema enthusiasts, the legendary “Ulaganayagan” Kamal Haasan has officially pulled back the curtain on Sivakarthikeyan’s next ambitious project. Titled Seyon, the film marks another high-profile collaboration under the prestigious banner of Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), in association with Turmeric Media.
The first look poster, shared by Kamal Haasan via his social media handles with the warm caption “Enrum Anbudan” (Always with Love), has sent ripples through the industry. The visual reveals a transformed Sivakarthikeyan, sporting a rugged, intense look, seated amidst a backdrop of vibrant peacocks—a clear nod to the iconography of Lord Murugan, who is also known by the name ‘Seyon’.
A Shift Toward the Divine and the Mythological
Directed by Sivakumar Murugesan, Seyon appears to be a significant departure from Sivakarthikeyan’s usual “boy-next-door” roles. The actor is seen wielding a traditional curved blade, adorned with sacred beads and a fierce expression, suggesting a narrative rooted in ancient Tamil culture or mythology.
Fans on social media are already drawing parallels to his recent experimental streak, following successes like Maaveeran, Ayalaan, and the highly anticipated Amaran. As one fan noted on X (formerly Twitter), “SK is on an experimental spree; this looks like a lord Murugan based movie coming for us.”
The Powerhouse Technical Team
The film boasts a stellar technical crew, ensuring that Seyon will be a grand cinematic experience. The musical score will be composed by the versatile Santhosh Narayanan, whose unique soundscapes are expected to elevate the film’s period setting.

The announcement has triggered a wave of congratulations from industry peers and audiences alike. With the backing of a veteran like Kamal Haasan, Seyon is positioned as one of the most anticipated Tamil films of the coming year. This project reinforces Sivakarthikeyan’s growing stature as a “Pan-Indian” prospect who is willing to take risks with diverse genres.
“This isn’t just a movie; it’s a statement of SK’s evolution as a performer,” remarked a film trade analyst.
As the production gears up, expectations are sky-high for what is being described as a “unique commercial entertainer” that blends divinity with high-octane drama.
