Siva Karthikeyan
On the occasion of actor Sivakarthikeyan's birthday on February 17, the makers of Seyon released a gripping glimpse video called 'Celebration'. The film has been directed by Sivakumar Murugesan and will be released in theatres in October this year. The film is being produced by Kamal Haasan's RaajKamal Films International and Turmeric Media.
Wishing Sivakarthikeyan on his birthday, Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI) took to their social media handles to share a video marked as 'Celebration' from the upcoming movie.
The Celebration video showcases an incident that happens on the second day of the Maasi Kalari festival that is held at the Karumaathur Virumaandi Temple. The incident in question is shown taking place two hours after a major scuffle at the festival. A group of people gather at the local police station, even as the constable explains the situation to the inspector. He informs that a major fight had broken out at the festival even as the inspector begins inspecting those who have gathered at the station.
He finds a group of young men with half-tonsured heads and asks them what happened. The constable explains that the young men with half tonsured heads behaved in an indecent manner by flashing laser lights at dancers at the festival and making reels out of it. "Therefore, somebody bashed them up and tonsured half their heads," he explains. The inspector then asks another man from another group as to why he was beaten. He says he was asked what play they were to stage at the festival and he had informed them that he was to stage the devotional "Valli Thirumanam (Valli's wedding to Lord Murugan)" and therefore, he too was bashed up.
The reply makes those locked up in prison wonder if the person who bashed up the theatre artiste was an atheist. But then another man clarifies, "He is not an atheist. In fact, he is the one who gets possessed by the divine spirit of Virumaandi."
The cops realise that everybody from the neighbouring villages are there to save one and that is the people of Karumathur, who are carrying out the procession. The others try to stop the procession but according to custom, the procession must not be stopped. The procession proceeds and the inspector happens to see Sivakarthikeyan in a possessed state and prays to him.
Actor and producer Sivakarthikeyan on Tuesday visited the world famous Shiva temple in Tiruvannamalai along with his family members and offered prayers on the occasion of his birthday. Video clips of the actor and his wife Aarthy offering prayers at the world-renowned Shiva temple have gone viral on social media.
