Actor Sivakarthikeyan, who has back-to-back Tamil hits to his credit, is said to be producing his next film. But a source close to the actor denies that he will don the producer's hat for his next yet-untitled film in Tamil.
"It's not Sivakarthikeyan, but his best friend Raja who'll be producing his next film. Since they're good friends, it's automatically assumed that Siva will also be one of the producers. However, it's not true," the source told IANS.
To be directed by debutant Bhagyaraj Bharathi, the film is set to go on floors soon. Samantha Ruth Prabhu is rumoured to play the lead actress.
International make-up artist Sean Foot, who has worked on films such as "Avatar" and "I", will reportedly be brought on board to handle Sivakarthikeyan's look in a drag.
