Suriya to team up with Irudhi Suttru director Sudha Kongara

Suriya has been working on Vignesh Shivan’s comedy entertainer Thaana Serndha Koottam for some time now. Shoot for the movie is nearing it’s completion and will soon enter the post-production stage.

Meanwhile, there is an interesting report coming in from Kollywood medias. Sudha Kongara of Irudhi Suttru fame might direct Suriya in her next film. Reportedly, Suriya was so impressed by Sudha’s script that he has also decided to produce it under his own banner 2D Entertainment. Incidentally, Sudha was also one of the guests for the audio launch of Jyothika’s Magalir Mattum, which is also produced by 2D Entertainment.

Sudha Kongara, an erstwhile associate of the legendary Mani Ratnam, won widespread appreciation for her movie Irudhi Suttru, which was released last year. The movie starring Madhavan and Ritika Singh in the lead roles was a bilingual made in Tamil and Hindi (Saala Khadoos). It was a huge success at the box office and also won several awards at the 64th National Film Awards. Sudha also remade the movie in Telugu as Guru with Venkatesh reprising Madhavan’s role.

An official word about Suriya-Sudha Kongara film is still awaited. Following the debacle of Singam 3, Suriya has been on the look for some interesting scripts. His next film after Thaana Serndha Koottam will be with the ace filmmaker Selvaraghavan.
