#SK20 will have music directed by S Thaman, who is presently busy composing for Tollywood biggies like Sarkaru Vaari Paata and Bheemla Nayak. The other cast and crew details of the bilingual film are yet to be made official.

The film's director Anudeep is best known for helming Jathi Ratnalu, the 2021 Telugu blockbuster hit starring Naveen Polisetty, Priyadarshi and Rahul Ramakrishna in the lead roles. Though reports about his collaboration with Sivakarthikeyan was rife right since Jathi Ratnalu's release, the duo remained tight-lipped. Well, with fans and followers of the actor celebrating his big collab with Anudeep, what has also caught the attention of netizens is a buzz about his remuneration in the film. Reportedly, he is charging Rs 25 crore for the entertainer.

The leading man was previously seen in Nelson Dilipkumar's Doctor, one of the few Tamil films that garnered the hearts of the audience upon its release in theatres in 2021. He will next be seen in Ayalaan and Don directed by R Ravi Kumar and Cibi Chakravarthi respectively. The release dates of the two films are yet to be known.
