Suriya was last seen in Kanguva. The action entertainer opened to mixed reviews, with many complaining of sound issues and a lack of a strong story.
He is currently working on a film with RJ Balaji, tentatively titled Suriya 45. It is anticipated to be an action thriller. In November, the film’s shoot started with a pooja ceremony at the Sri Masaniamman Temple in Pollachi. RJ Balaji is known for the 2022 film Veetla Vishesham.
