The makers of Sivakarthikeyan starrer 'Seyon' has now released a gripping ‘Celebration’ video to mark the star’s birthday.The film is directed by Sivakumar Murugesan and the newly unveiled glimpse has thrilled fans and set strong expectations as it hints at an intense rural action drama set against the backdrop of festival rituals. Sharing the link on X, the makers wrote, "#Seyon - The Celebration #HappyBirthdaySK #SeyonOct2026 #சேயோன் #OneMoreTime #KamalHaasan #Sivakarthikeyan @ikamalhaasan @Siva_Kartikeyan #Mahendran @Dir_SivakumarM @Music_Santhosh @RKFI @turmericmediaTM @bala_actor @vivekvdop @Sanlokesh."The Celebration video opens with a striking sequence from the second day of the Maasi Kalari festival held at the Karumaathur Virumaandi Temple. The clip is set two hours after a major scuffle during the celebrations. The scene cuts to a group of people gathered at a police station as a constable briefs the inspector about the dispute.He explains that a group of young men with half-tonsured heads had behaved indecently during the festival by flashing laser lights at dancers and making reels. "That’s why someone beat them up and shaved off half their hair, "he says. The inspector then questions another man, who claims he was assaulted after stating that he planned to stage the devotional play "Valli Thirumanam (Valli's wedding to Lord Murugan)". The man’s reply puzzles those already in custody, leading them to wonder if the attacker was an atheist.Another villager then clarifies the mystery, saying, "He isn’t an atheist; in fact, he’s the one who becomes possessed by Virumaandi’s divine spirit."As the ceremony continues the inspector spots a possessed man—Sivakarthikeyan—emerging in a powerful trance-like state.From the look and feel of the glimpse, it's sure that this time too Sivakarthikeyan is not promising on the content quality of his movies.The video strongly suggests that the story is set in Madurai’s rural heartland. The makers confirmed that the film will release in October this year. They also described it as a “power-packed and dynamic new role” for Sivakarthikeyan, framing the film as a grand rural commercial entertainer.The crew includes cinematographer Vivek Vijayakumar, editor San Lokesh, art director R K Nagu, and costume designers Keerthy Sampath and Joshua Maxwell.On the other hand, Sivakarthikeyan's previous outing was the Sudha Kongara's directorial 'Parasakthi'.
