Actor Sivakarthikeyan is set to resume filming for director Sivakumar Murugesan's upcoming Tamil film 'Seyon' shortly, with the third schedule slated to be the longest yet — running for approximately 25 to 30 days in Madurai, according to sources close to the production.

Third Schedule: What We Know

Sources indicate that Sivakarthikeyan will shortly be heading to Madurai, where the third schedule of Seyon has been planned. 'The third schedule will be a lengthy one. It will be for a period of about 25 to 30 days,' a source close to the production said. The film's second schedule was wrapped up recently, with producers Raaj Kamal Films International announcing its completion via social media.

Cinematographer Change: Director Addresses Speculation

Shooting will resume with new cinematographer Vidhu Ayyanna behind the camera, replacing Vivek Vijayakumar, who had originally been signed for the project. Director Sivakumar Murugesan confirmed the change was purely due to scheduling conflicts on Vivek's end. Responding to a fan query on X, the director wrote, 'No brother. Vivek is an excellent cinematographer. This change is being made solely due to date issues, as the shooting schedules of the two films he had already signed. Seyon is shaping up exceptionally well. Thank you.' Notably, Vidhu Ayyanna previously collaborated with Sivakarthikeyan on the hit film 'Maaveeran', making this a familiar pairing on set.

A Packed Schedule: Sivakarthikeyan's Dual Productions

Sivakarthikeyan is simultaneously shooting for another untitled film directed by Ramkumar Balakrishnan, tentatively referred to as #SK27, which went on floors on 25 September 2025. Managing two major productions concurrently underscores the actor's busy calendar heading into 2026. Prior to the second schedule of Seyon, Sivakarthikeyan had taken a brief break in Ooty, sharing pictures of himself on a jeep amid mist-covered mountains on Instagram, captioning them: 'A pause. A breeze. A little peace.'

Production Background and Key Details

Seyon officially went on floors in Madurai on 18 May 2025, with a grand pooja ceremony attended by actor Kamal Haasan and several other celebrities. The first schedule wrapped up on 10 June 2025. The film is jointly produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International and Turmeric Media, with R. Mahendran co-producing. It features Baghyashrii Borse as the female lead — marking her first direct Tamil film. The technical crew includes composer Santhosh Narayanan, editor San Lokesh, art director R K Nagu, and costume designers Keerthy Sampath and Joshua Maxwell.

The Significance of the Sivakarthikeyan–Kamal Haasan Reunion

Seyon marks a notable reunion between Sivakarthikeyan and Raaj Kamal Films International, whose previous collaboration on the film 'Amaran' delivered both critical acclaim and strong box-office returns. Additionally, this project represents the first-ever creative partnership between Raaj Kamal Films International, Sivakarthikeyan, and composer Santhosh Narayanan — a combination that has drawn considerable anticipation from Tamil cinema audiences. The film is described as a grand rural commercial entertainer, with Sivakarthikeyan reportedly taking on a power-packed new role.

With a lengthy third schedule now on the horizon and a strong technical team in place, the makers of Seyon appear to be pushing towards a significant production milestone in the coming weeks.
