As we reported earlier this morning Sivakarthikeyan is in talks for a new movie to be directed by M. Rajesh of 'Siva Manasula Shakthi' , 'Boss Engira Bhaskaran' and 'Oru Kal Oru Kannadi' fame.  The said film which would be the young front line heroe's 14th is to be produced by K. E. Gnanavelraja of Studio Green fame.

A point to be noted is that Sivakarthikeyan's long pending project for Gnanavelraja initially had Vignesh Shivan as the director and even an official anouncement was made.  Reliable sources reveal that the 'Thaana Serndha Koottam' director opted out as he needed more time to finish an original script.  The Sivakarthikeyan- M. Rajesh project is expected to be finalised in the next couple of days but official word will come only after the ongoing industry strike is called off.

Sivakarthikeyan meanwhile, having completed 'Seemaraja' directed by Ponram will next start shooting for 'SK13' a SciFi directed by Ravikumar with A.R. Rahman scoring the music.
