In a major boost for Tamil cinema fans, the shooting of Sivakarthikeyan’s much-awaited film Seyon officially kicked off today, May 18, 2026, in Madurai.
The team is set for an intense 20-25 day schedule in and around the temple city, capturing high-energy sequences that promise to showcase the raw power and vibrant spirit of rural Tamil Nadu. Produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International in association with Turmeric Media, the project is being helmed by debut director Sivakumar Murugesan and is already generating huge buzz as a full-on mass commercial entertainer packed with SK’s signature mix of fun, emotion, and blockbuster moments.
Sivakarthikeyan, who is also starring in the lead role, joined hands with Kamal Haasan to launch the shoot with a grand song sequence that has the entire unit buzzing. The film also features Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead, music by Oscar-winning composer Santhosh Narayanan, and a strong supporting cast including Bala. Sources close to the production say Seyon is shaping up as a powerful rural drama with festival vibes, expected to hit theatres in October 2026.
Madurai’s historic streets and temples are all set to play a starring role as the team dives deep into this high-stakes schedule. Fans are already calling it one of the most anticipated releases of the year, and early reports suggest the film will deliver the kind of mass appeal that made SK a household name.
