Sivakarthikeyan is one of the most consistently successful actors in Kollywood days. His last film, Vellaikaaran, was a huge hit and also got acclaim for its social message. Now he is back to his favourite genre - masala entertainers - in his next, Seemaraja. He plays the titular character in the rural-based film, that also stars Samantha Akkineni as the female lead. The movie is directed by Ponram, known for making Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam and Rajini Murugan with Sivakarthikeyan in the lead.

We have had a glimpse of Seemaraja when the teaser came out some time back. Now we have the official trailer that shows a lot more action, humour and romance. It is back to the comfort zone for Sivakarthikeyan who excels in playing these masala heroes with equal share action and humour. Giving him company is his Rajini Murugan co-star Soori. Samantha Akkineni plays a village belle once again. The villains of the piece are played by Lal, Napolean and surprisingly, Simran Bagga. The surprise of the trailer arrives toward the end when the trailer goes back in history with Sivakarthikeyan donning a warrior's garb.

Watch the trailer of Seemaraja here -

We are curious to know what the end twist was all about. Anyway looks like another winner for Sivakarthikeyan, considering the audience in Tamil Nadu has a fascination for rural-based entertainers.

The movie also stars Yogi Babu and Manobala. Seemaraja is all set to release on September 13.
