A few years back when he was a popular stand up comedian and TV anchor, Siva Karthikeyan acted in a short film titled Mugaputhagam` written and directed by Atlee which was so well received by the youngsters in social media. This served as a launch pad for Sivakarthikeyan and he started acting in feature films.

Now Sivakarthikeyan is a fast rising star and Atlee is helming Ilayathalapathy` Vijay`s 59th film after delivering a super hit with his debut film Raja Rani`.

Sources reveal that the duo of Sivakarthikeyan and Atlee will be pairing up again. It is said that Atlee has written a script in the time he got before starting the shoot for Vijay 59` and he will be directing that script as his next with Sivakarthikeyan in the lead role.

Sivakarthikeyan will be acting in the Atlee directed film after finishing the yet to be titled film directed by Packiaraj who is a former associate of Atlee. Veteran cinematographer P.C.Sriram who is handling the lens for the Packiaraj film has given his nod to work for the Atlee film also.
