Like Superstar Rajinikanth and Vikram, Sivakarthikeyan, who comes from a middle-class family with no prior background in cinema or financial stability, has now become one of the biggest commercial mass heroes in Tamil cinema, following Rajinikanth. Those who aspire to achieve similar success and those working towards it will understand the challenges he has faced. Surpassing the difficulties in cinema, which are sometimes tougher than political struggles, is no easy feat. Perhaps because of these trials, Sivakarthikeyan has become someone who extends his support to those aspiring to succeed in cinema like him. He doesn’t just provide opportunities to the directors he works with, but also to those who succeed outside of his films. Following in the footsteps of Superstar Rajini, Sivakarthikeyan has never hesitated to recognize and appreciate directors. Even after achieving great heights, he has given opportunities to directors like Bhagyaraj Kannan of Remo and Cibi of Don . Through his SK Productions , he has also provided chances to directors like Arunraja Kamaraj and P.S. Vinothraj.
Recently, Sivakarthikeyan appreciated the directors and crew of films such as Byri by John Glady, Nanban Oruvan Vantha Piragu by Anand Ram, Maharaja by Nithilan Swaminathan, Vaazhai by Mari Selvaraj, and Lubber Pandhu by Tamizharasan Pachamuthu. This act of recognizing and encouraging filmmakers showcases his artistic spirit and is worthy of admiration. This validates actress Saritha’s statement at an event, where she called Sivakarthikeyan ” Junior Rajini .” Entering the film industry as a fan, he followed Rajinikanth’s style in both the business aspect and in his films. Today, Sivakarthikeyan holds the second largest commercial space after Rajini. By encouraging upcoming artists and following in the footsteps of the Superstar, he has truly earned the title of ” Junior Rajini .”
