Actor Sivakarthikeyan, whose upcoming film Seyon has entered production on Monday, said that they are attempting to emulate the best things that people loved in Virumandi with Seyon.

Questions about Seyon's connection to the Kamal starrer arose due to his Raaj Kamal Films International producing it, and also the deity Virumandi's lore seems to be a commonality in both films. Also, the film's director Sivakumar Murugesan, is a self-confessed Kamal fan, which was made evident in his debut film Thaai Kizhavi. Sivakarthikeyan also told the presspersons that Madurai has a power to it and Seyon will showcase that power.

The film's announcement suggested that Sivakarthikeyan's character is either possessed or is Lord Murugan or Virumandi. The film, starring Bhagyashri Borse as the lead, also features Bala Saravanan and Aruldoss. Produced by RKFI, the film also marks Sivakarthikeyan's second collaboration with the banner after the 2024 film Amaran.

On the technical front, Seyon has composer Santhosh Narayanan, cinematographer Vivek Vijayakumar, editor San Lokesh, stunt director Supreme Sundar, costume designer Dinesh Manoharan and production designer Arun Venjaramoodu. The makers have announced the film will release in theatres in October.
