Sivakarthikeyan’s upcoming Tamil film Seyon has reportedly undergone some changes after the makers replaced cinematographer Vivek Vijayakumar. It was initially said that the cinematographer was changed as the team was not satisfied with his work after the first schedule. However, industry gossip suggests there could be more to the change.

According to industry insiders, director Ganesh K Babu and Vivek Vijayakumar had already worked together on Thaai Kizhavi and were said to be in sync with each other. The chatter now is that Sivakarthikeyan, after observing the response and box office performance of Suriya’s Karuppu, wanted Seyon to be mounted on a bigger scale.

As per the ongoing industry talk, Sivakarthikeyan felt that Seyon needs a strong commercial impact and reportedly suggested certain changes to the director. Ganesh K Babu is said to have incorporated those changes into the script. With the film's scale and visual requirements subsequently changing, the team apparently felt that a different cinematographer would be better suited to the revised version.

There is also a perception within industry circles that Sivakarthikeyan is particularly conscious about delivering a big success with Seyon. While Amaran turned out to be a major blockbuster and significantly elevated his market, his next outing Madharaasi failed to capitalize on that momentum. Interestingly, Seyon is being produced by Raaj Kamal Films International, the same production house behind Amaran, which naturally adds expectations around the project.

Whether Karuppu actually prompted the changes or the cinematographer switch was purely a creative decision remains unconfirmed. For now, these remain industry rumours and gossip. After a considerable gap, Seyon has resumed shooting in Chennai, with the team now moving ahead with its revised plans.
