Sivakarthikeyan has signed a new film titled Don, which will be jointly produced by the actor's home banner Sivakarthikeyan Productions and Lyca Productions. Directed by debutant filmmaker Cibi Chakaravarthi, a former assistant to Atlee, Don will mark the return of Sivakarthikeyan to his tried and tested comedy-drama genre. 

"Don will be a wholesome entertainer with ample humour and romance. It's about what happens in the life of a mischievous college student who is loved by everyone. Sivakarthikeyan plays this student and his role will be an extension of his real-life fun persona," says Cibi. "I narrated this script to him about one and a half years ago. He was also looking for a college-based script at the time and so, things fell into place."

The director adds that the pre-production work is complete. "The film will go on floors next month. We are yet to confirm the rest of the cast and crew, but I can assure that the list will be a surprising one."

Don will have music by Anirudh Ravichandar, who has previously collaborated with Sivakarthikeyan on films like Ethir Neechal, Maan Karate, and Remo.  

Sivakarthikeyan currently also has Doctor and Ayalaan in different stages of production.
