Sivakarthikeyan and Venkat Prabhu film to not have Yuvan’s music
Ever since his debut with Chennai 600028, director Venkat Prabhu has worked with his regular cast and crew. It is also given that a Venkat Prabhu film will always have music by his cousin and musician Yuvan Shankar Raja. The tradition had continued until his recent film The Goat. But it looks like Venkat Prabhu will be going with a new collaboration for his next film featuring Sivakarthikeyan.
As per reports, Venkat Prabhu and Sivakarthikeyan film will have music by Anirudh Ravichander. This means it will mark the first time the director and composer are collaborating. However, Anirudh and Sivakarthikeyan go a long way back, as they have teamed up for many blockbusters like Don, Doctor and Ethir Neechal. Venkat Prabhu recently confirmed that his next is with Sivakarthikeyan at a film event held. The shooting will begin in October, he had further added. An official announcement regarding the project is yet to be made.
