Sivakarthikeyan okays Pushkar-Gayathri, holds Good Night Director

The much-anticipated collaboration between Good Night director Vinayak Chandrasekaran and actor Sivakarthikeyan is now reportedly on hold. Sources reveal that Sivakarthikeyan has been recently impressed by a fresh script narrated by acclaimed filmmakers Pushkar-Gayatri, prompting him to prioritize their film instead.

Vinayak Chandrasekaran, who shot to fame with the 2023 sleeper hit Good Night, became a hot favourite among top Tamil actors. Despite receiving multiple offers, he initially committed to directing Sivakarthikeyan for his next project under the same banner that is now backing Pushkar-Gayatri’s script.

Sivakarthikeyan, who is currently awaiting the release of AR Murugadoss’ Madharasi later this year, followed by Parasakthi directed by Sudha Kongara in January 2026, is said to be keen on beginning work on the Pushkar-Gayatri film at the earliest.

While an official update is awaited, this development adds another exciting chapter to Sivakarthikeyan’s dynamic career graph, with fans eagerly looking forward to his collaborations with celebrated filmmakers.
