The duo were supposed to star in a film together 'SK17' a couple of years back that was to be directed by Vignesh Shivan and produced by Lyca Productions which unfortunately was shelved.

The film in question is the one that will mark the Telugu debut of Sivakarthikeyan and will be directed by 'Jathi Rathnalu' fame Anudeep. The official confirmation is awaited.

Sivakarthikeyan's next release is 'Doctor' directed by Nelson Dilipkumar while he is currently shooting for 'Don' directed by debtante Cibi Chakravarthy. Rashmika on the other hand has shifted to Mumbai to complete two films 'Mission Majnu' and 'Goodbye' and she also has the pan Indian film 'Pushpa' costarring Allu Arjun under her belt.
