Suriya, who is currently working on KV Anand’s ‘Kaappaan’, will next join hands with Sudha Kongara of ‘Irudhi Suttru’ fame. Tentatively titled as ‘Suriya 38’, the movie is reportedly a biopic on GR Gopinath the founder of Air Deccan, which is said to be India’s first budget airline. Suriya’s own banner 2D Entertainment is backing the movie.

As per latest reports, Academy award winner Guneet Monga will be making her entry to Tamil industry with this movie. She recently bagged the prestigious Oscar for her critically-acclaimed documentary production, Period. End of Sentence. Guneet, the founder of Sikhya Entertainment, has produced several acclaimed notable films like ‘Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 1’, ‘Peddlers’, ‘The Lunchbox’ and ‘Masaan’.

Sudha Kongara’s film with Suriya has been in planning for nearly two years now. The project got postponed multiple times due the actor’s other commitments. Soon after wrapping up the shoot of ‘Kaappaan’, Suriya will start shooting for Sudha’s film. More details are awaited.
