The Manam Kothi Paravai actor recently inked his signature for his next project provisionally christened SK 27. Story teller Ramkumar Balakrishnan, who won the National Film Award for his debut movie Parking, is directing the flick. He has also conceptualized the story of the venture.
Actress Kayadu Lohar of Idhayam Murali fame will be seen in the female lead role in the flick. We now have news that the movie has gone on the floors with a small pooja ceremony in Chennai. Actor Harish Kalyan graced the pooja ceremony. The production house themselves has revealed the news on social media, along with a short clip capturing special moments from the pooja ceremony.
