Sharing the news on X, the makers wrote: “The most anticipated #Suriya46 has been officially launched with a grand pooja ceremony! Suriya x #VenkyAtluri unite to create magic on screen! Thank you #Trivikram garu for gracing and marking the beginning of this journey with the first clap.”

Speaking at a pre-release event in Hyderabad last month, Suriya announced the film, “With his blessings, you have been waiting for this announcement, we are associating with Sithara Entertainments’ Vamsi gaaru and my dear brother Venky here.”
“This will be my next. As you’ve all been asking, after a long time, with beautiful association and beautiful talent here, we will be doing my next Tamil film. I will be shooting and spending a lot of time here in beautiful Hyderabad. From May onwards, we start our next. We need all your love, we need all your blessings. I am sure this will be a beautiful journey and that there will be more beautiful associations happening.”
Venky Atluri’s last film Lucky Baskhar starring Dulquer Salmaan and Meenakshi Chaudhary was a major hit. Earlier he worked with Dhanush, in Sir.
Meanwhile, Suriya’s Retro, released on 1 May, received mixed reactions.
