Teaser Talk: Seyon Is Siva Karthikeyan's Kantara

A man who is already reckless and yet powerful towards his people and has a commitment towards ethics, gets possessed by God, and then unleashes fury on his enemies. You’re thinking this is the story of “Kantara” in a nutshell, but that’s almost the story of Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming film “Seyon” as well. Here’s the teaser for the film and let's see how is it doing.

The story unfolds over a night, as a fight breaks out at the divine Jathara, aka Maasi Kalari festival, at the Karumathur Virumandi Temple. Siva Karthikeyan is being portrayed as God itself, as people say that he’s possessed by God. While the visuals, the intense portrayals, the amazing Jathara vibe and the music scored by Santosh Narayan are intriguing, the SK’s look is also catching attention.

Director Sivakumar Murugesan has done a good job by choosing this divine theme, when the whole of South India is making similar movies now. However, the film’s teaser has vibes of Vikram’s Veera Dheera Sooran in some aspects, and otherwise, it looks like the hero Siva Karthikeyan made a nice choice. Moreover, the film is produced by Kamal Haasan, so we have to see how it works in theatres. Seyon is hitting cinemas in October 2026.
