The film also features Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan, actress Nazriya Fahadh, and Bollywood actor Vijay Varma in pivotal roles.
Director Sudha Kongara, who directed the critically acclaimed National Award-winning superhit film Soorarai Pottru (2020), is to direct actor Suriya’s 43rd movie. The title of the project is yet to be announced.
As in the case of Soorarai Pottru, the music of Suriya’s 43rd film, too, will be scored by music director GV Prakash.
Interestingly, it will hold the distinction of being GV Prakash’s 100th film as music director.
Suriya’s upcoming flick will be produced by Jyothika, Suriya, and Rajasekar Karpoorapandian on behalf of Suriya’s own production house 2D Entertainment.
