Sivakarthikeyan is currently working on a lot of projects, while awaiting the release of Mr. Local, that is directed by M Rajesh of Siva Manasula Sakthi, Boss Engira Baskaran, and OKOK fame. Mr. Local has Nayanthara as the female lead, and is produced by KE Gnanavel Raja under the banner Studio Green.
The film is set for a release on May 17. Simultaneously, he is working on a sci-fi film with Ravikumar of Indru Netru Naalai fame, a film with PS Mithran of Irumbuthirai fame, titled Hero. He had announced that after these 2 projects, he'll be working on a film with Pandiraj, produced by Sun Pictures.
Here is a massive update on the film's casting. While it was revealed a few hours ago that Anu Emmanuel will be playing the female lead, Sun Pictures have now announced that Aishwarya Rajesh will be playing a crucial role in this one. SK16 has D Imman scoring the music.
It must be noted that Aishwarya and Sivakarthikeyan had already worked together in Kanaa, that was directed by Arunraja Kamaraja, and produced by Sivakarthikeyan himself. Following SK16, Siva will work on a film with Vignesh ShivN, produced by Lyca Productions, that has Anirudh composing the music.
