According to a report by Samayam Tamil, AR Murugadoss considers Sivakarthikeyan similar to the superstars because of how he gave opportunities to debut directors early in his career.

In his words, the Ghajini helmer said, “Thalapathy Vijay sir and Ajith Kumar sir worked with many debutant directors in their early career. I believe this is one of the main reasons behind their incredible growth.”

“Similarly, now Sivakarthikeyan is also giving chances to many young directors. It's not easy to believe in young talents and give them a chance,” he added.

Sivakarthikeyan was last seen in the leading role for the biographical flick Amaran. The film, directed by Rajkumar Perisamy, had Sai Pallavi as the co-lead and was a massive hit in the theaters.

Looking ahead, the actor is working on the movie, Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara. The film is touted to revolve around the uproar that took place in Tamil Nadu during the 1960s.
