Eminent Indian actor Suriya is fresh off the heels after the commercial success of his last film ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’. And in a fantastic update, Suriya is set to reunite for another project with the Filmfare award-winning director Sudha Kongara with whom he had collaborated for the critically acclaimed 2020 film ‘Soorarai Pottru’.
As per a recent interview with Tamil publication Vikatan, Sudha Kongara has revealed that she will be going behind the camera for a big-budget movie featuring Suriya. The film is being described as a challenging project. Reportedly, the movie is not going to be a biopic and will be based on a true story.
As per the latest buzz, the Suriya-Sudha Kongara movie’s filming schedule is expected to commence later this year in December. However, other details about the film’s remaining cast members, plotline, etc. are currently not known.
Any creative collaboration between Suriya and Sudha Kongara is bound to attract some serious attention from cinephiles because of an obvious reason. Their last film together ‘Soorarai Pottru’ had received a big thumbs-up from audiences and critics alike.
Partially based on the awe-inspiring life story of Simplifly Deccan founder G. R. Gopinath, ‘Soorarai Pottru’ revolves around a former Indian Air Force captain Maara (played by Suriya), and his unwavering efforts to achieve his virtually impossible dream of starting a low-cost carrier airline. The film is currently listed amongst the top ten Indian movies of all time on IMDb and is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Sudha Kongara’s other directorial films include Madhavan starrer boxing drama ‘Saala Khadoos’, its Telugu remake ‘Guru’ starring Venkatesh, and a segment of the hard-hitting anthology ‘Paava Kadhaigal’. It was also announced that she would be helming the ‘Soorarai Pottru’ Hindi remake.
After ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’ and the immensely admired legal drama ‘Jai Bhim’, Suriya’s forthcoming acting projects include Bala’s untitled film, Ravikumar’s next, and Vetrimaaran’s upcoming action-drama ‘Vaadivaasal’, amongst others.
