Mamitha Baiju is set to play the female lead in the film, which also features veteran Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon, marking her return to Tamil cinema after 24 years. Her last Tamil film was Kamal Haasan’s Aalavandhan in 2001.
Speaking at a pre-release event in Hyderabad earlier, 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.
He is also collaborating with RJ Balaji, for the film tentatively titled Suriya 45. It is anticipated to be an action thriller. In November 2024, 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.
