Mohanlal & Sivakarthikeyan’s Kollywood Collaboration Faces Delay — Here’s What’s Slowing Down The Big Project

Mohanlal is enjoying the success of his recent theatrical release Thudarum and the re-release of his 2007 film Chotta Mumbai. Sivakarthikeyan, on the other hand, is also riding high on the massive success of Amaran. So, the news of both stars teaming up for a Kollywood project is naturally buzzworthy, especially since rumours about such a collaboration have been circulating for a while now.

The project is being helmed by director Vinayak Chandrasekaran. With Sivakarthikeyan on board, the makers have approached Mohanlal to play the role of Sivakarthikeyan’s father. Mohanlal, too, has reportedly agreed to be part of the film.

Then why the expected delay?

Currently, Sivakarthikeyan has two projects nearing completion, Madharasi, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, and Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara. After completing these two, he was preparing to begin work on the project with Mohanlal, directed by Vinayak Chandrasekaran. However, according to 123 Telugu, the collaboration may not happen anytime soon, as Mohanlal is tied up with other commitments. As a result, Sivakarthikeyan has reportedly decided to pursue another project with director Venkat Prabhu. That said, none of this information has been officially confirmed.
