Siva Karthikeyan bagged a blockbuster with his past film Amaran. Meanwhile an interesting news is making waves about his Telugu debut. According to Telugu 360 reports, director Trivikram Srinivas was recently surprised by Tamil actor Siva Karthikeyan’s high demand for remuneration. It is known fact that Allu Arjun committed to a project with director Atlee.
So Trivikram started searching for other leading stars for his next film. Trivikram showed interest in collaborating with Siva Karthikeyan seeing the huge success of Amaran in both Telugu and Tamil.
“A meeting was held in Chennai earlier this year between Trivikram’s team and Siva Karthikeyan. The actor expressed his interest in working with Trivikram. However, he reportedly asked for a massive fee of Rs 70 crore for the project. This unexpected demand shocked Trivikram and his team,” source added.
After careful consideration, Trivikram felt that the project would not be financially feasible due to the high budget. As a result, he decided to drop the plan of working with Siva Karthikeyan for now.
At present Trivikram is focusing on a script for veteran actor Venkatesh. The discussions for this project are still in the early stages. He is also involved in the pre-production of another film with Allu Arjun but no official announcements have been made yet.

With most top actors already busy with other commitments, it seems that Trivikram may have to wait longer to start his next big project. His most recent film Guntur Kaaram starring Mahesh Babu was released during Sankranthi 2024 and received mixed reviews.
For now fans are eagerly waiting to see what Trivikram’s next move will be and which actor he will team up with next.
