Mohanlal is having fun with the success of his recent theatrical release Thudarum and the re-release of his 2007 film Chotta Mumbai. Sivakarthikeyan, alternatively, can also be riding high on the large success of Amaran. So, the news of each stars teaming up for a Kollywood project is of course buzzworthy, especially since rumours about such a collaboration have been circulating for some time now.
The project is being helmed by director Vinayak Chandrasekaran. With Sivakarthikeyan on board, the makers have approached Mohanlal to play the role of Sivakarthikeyan’s father. Mohanlal, too, has reportedly agreed to be a part of the film.
Then why the expected delay?
Currently, Sivakarthikeyan has two projects nearing completion, Madharasi, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, and Parasakthi, directed by Sudha Kongara. After completing these two, he was preparing to start work on the project with Mohanlal, directed by Vinayak Chandrasekaran. Nonetheless, in line with 123 Telugu, the collaboration may not occur anytime soon, as Mohanlal is tied up with other commitments. Consequently, Sivakarthikeyan has reportedly decided to pursue one other project with director Venkat Prabhu. That said, none of this information has been officially confirmed.

As reported earlier the box office performance of Thudarum and Amaran, Amaran is the clear winner by way of raw figures. It managed a worldwide gross of 341.52 crores, whereas Thudarum earned 237.76 crores. Which means Amaran collected 103.76 crores greater than Thudarum from its theatrical run. You possibly can currently stream Thudarum on Jio Hotstar and Amaran on Netflix.
