Official: Pandiraj to direct Suriya 40

After all the speculations, it has finally been confirmed that Suriya’s next film will be directed by Pandiraj. Production giant Sun Pictures is backing the project, which has been tentatively titled as ‘Suriya 40’. Pandiraj is a National award winner known for helming hit films like ‘Pasanga’, ‘Kadaikutty Singam’ and ‘Namma Veettu Pillai’. Suriya had earlier collaborated with the director in ‘Pasanga 2’. The star did an extended cameo role in it.

Though the makers are yet to confirm it, buzz is that Suriya will be playing a politician’s role in Pandiraj’s film. Last year, the actor had played a grey-shaded politician’s role in the Selvaraghavan directorial ‘NGK’. Unlike ‘NGK’, which was an abstract attempt, Pandiraj’s film is expected to be a proper commercial entertainer that appeals to all sections of the audience.

‘Suriya 40’ was supposed to do be directed by Hari next but that project seems to have been dropped as the star was not pleased with the script. Suriya has also committed for films with directors Vetrimaaran and Siva. His ambitious film ‘Soorarai Pottru’ is scheduled to premier in Amazon Prime during the Diwali weekend.

Soorarai Pottru trailer: Suriya’s Nedumaaran Rajangam is a man on a mission!

The much-awaited trailer of Suriya starrer ‘Soorarai Pottru’ has dropped in online. Just like the teaser and the other promo clips, the trailer is also super promising with Suriya appearing in fine form. He essays a character named Nedumaaran Rajangam, a common man hailing from Madurai who dreams of owning an aircraft business. The film is based on the life of GR Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan and Suriya fits in the role quite perfectly. Since the narrative is set in different timelines, the actor appears in multiple looks in the film.

‘Soorarai Pottru’ is directed by Sudha Kongara of ‘Irudhi Suttru’ fame. The film was scheduled to hit screens earlier this year during the summer holidays but due to the pandemic the makers were forced to release the film on Amazon Prime Video. While it was slated to have its world premier on October 30, even that got postponed as the makers could not obtain all the required NOCs from the Indian Airforce on time. They have now announced that the film will be out on November 12.
