SK26: Sivakarthikeyan’s Next With RKFI Locks February 17, 2026 — Expectations Soar
The buzz around Tamil cinema’s rising box-office force Sivakarthikeyan has intensified with a fresh and exciting update. The much-anticipated project, tentatively referred to as #SK26 Siva Karthikeyan is officially scheduled to begin on February 17, 2026.
The film will be produced by the prestigious Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), the banner owned by legendary actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan. The announcement has instantly captured the attention of fans and industry circles alike.
This collaboration is particularly noteworthy because RKFI is known for backing ambitious and content-driven films rather than routine commercial entertainers. Over the years, the production house has delivered several technically rich and performance-oriented projects. Sivakarthikeyan teaming up with such a banner strongly suggests that #SK26 will aim beyond a conventional mass entertainer and could present the actor in a new, more layered avatar.
Sivakarthikeyan has steadily expanded his range in recent years, balancing family entertainers with performance-centric roles.
After experimenting with different genres and gradually strengthening his market in both Tamil Nadu and Telugu states, the actor appears ready to take another big leap. Industry insiders expect #SK26 to be mounted on a large scale, with a strong emphasis on storytelling, technical finesse, and character depth.
Though the makers have kept plot and casting details under wraps, pre-production work has reportedly been progressing for months. Sets, look tests, and technical planning are believed to be in advanced stages so that filming can commence immediately once the project goes on floors. An official announcement revealing the director, music composer, and supporting cast is expected soon, which will likely further elevate anticipation.
The project is also important for RKFI, as the banner continues to expand its production slate by collaborating with the new generation of stars. By joining hands with Sivakarthikeyan one of the most bankable and youth-connected actors in South Indian cinema the studio is clearly aiming to blend strong content with wide commercial appeal.
With shooting set to start on February 17, fans are eagerly waiting for the first look and title reveal. If the early excitement is any indication, #SK26 has all the ingredients to become one of the most talked-about Tamil film projects of 2026. It is well known that earlier in the same combination a blockbuster titled Amaran came in front of the audience.
