Buzz: Suriya working on a flop franchise

Suriya scored a super hit with Singham and the first one was a blockbuster. The second one too ended up as a hit and the actor pinned many hopes on the third installment of the project that carried massive expectations. Suriya has a firm belief on Hari who directed the installments of Singham. As per the update, Suriya is in discussion with Hari for the fourth installment of the franchise of Singham. The basic idea is already pitched and the discussions for the same are currently going on. Suriya is expected to take the final call after he listens to the final script.

Suriya scored super hits like Soorarai Pottru and the film ended up as the most viewed film. His next outing Jai Bhim too impressed the critics and the audience. His last theatrical outing Etharkkum Thunindhavan is just an average grosser in Tamil and is a flop in Telugu. The actor’s performance in Kamal Haasan’s Vikram received wide reception. The actor is shooting for Bala’s film that will release soon. He also has a couple of other projects that are in pipeline.

‘Suriya 42’ unit warns of legal action against those sharing videos, pics shot on its sets

The makers of director Siruthai Siva’s upcoming magnum opus, featuring actor Suriya in the lead, have asked those illegally uploading and sharing pictures and videos they’ve shot on the sets of the film not to do so and warned of strict legal action if the request is ignored.

In a statement, production houses Studio Green and UV Creations said, “A humble request to everyone! We have noticed that few are sharing ‘videos and pictures’ from the shooting sets of our upcoming production #Suriya42.”

“Every single work involves the blood and sweat of the entire team. We want to gift this movie as a grand theatrical experience to everyone. It would be a great favour if you delete/remove the published videos and pictures, and we request not to share the same in the future.”

“We would also like to inform you that strict legal action under ‘Copyrights Infringement’ will be taken against the ones who continue to do so.”

The film, which has triggered a huge interest and being made on a lavish scale, is being made in 3D and will be released in a whopping 10 languages.

The exciting motion poster has a hawk hovering over a battlefield in which knights are battling it out, while Suriya’s character, dressed in the attire of a commander, is seen standing on a rock and observing the proceedings on the battlefield. A motion poster released by the team has led many fans to wonder if ‘Suriya 42’ is a historical or a war film.

The film is being produced by Studio Green Gnanavel Raja and has music by Devi Sri Prasad. Disha Patani plays the female lead in this film which has cinematography by Vetri Palanisamy, who had shot superhits like Ajith-starrer ‘Veeram’ and ‘Vedalam’.

Richard Kevin, who did a fine job editing superhits like the critically acclaimed ‘Vikram Vedha’ and the recently released webseries ‘Suzhal’, is the film’s editor.

Madras HC quashes FIR against Tamil actor Suriya, Jai Bhim Director Gnanavel

Madras HC quashes FIR against Tamil actor Suriya, Jai Bhim Director Gnanavel

The Madras High Court on Thursday quashed a First Information Report (FIR) against Tamil actor Suriya and Director of Jai Bhim movie, T.J. Gnanavel.

The FIR was registered at the Velachery police station, Chennai for allegedly hurting the sentiments of the Vanniyar community by portraying it in a bad light in the movie, ‘Jai Bhim’.

The FIR was lodged on May 17 at the instance of the Advocate of Rudra Vanniyar Sena, K. Santosh. Justice N. Satish Kumar of the Madras High Court allowed a joint petition filed by the actor and director to quash the FIR registered against them.

The petitioners in their plea stated that the movie ‘Jai Bhim’ was based upon a case in which retired Judge of Madras High Court, Justice K. Chandru had conducted while he was a practicing lawyer. It stated that except for his name and that of the Inspector General of Police, Perumalswamy, the names of all other characters were changed.

The actor and director of the movie said that they did not want to use the real names of the characters as most of them had undergone the full prison term and were still alive. The movie was given an ‘A’ certificate by the Censor Board and was released only on the OTT platform, thereby limiting the number of viewers who could watch it.

The movie, according to the petitioners, was well received across the world and was appreciated by all sections of the people without any caste or creed affiliations. The movie also won several acclaims and awards including the Dadasaheb Phalke Film Festival award, the JFW Award, and the Boston International Film Festival Award.

The filmmakers said that the Chairman of the Bar Council of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry P.S. Amalraj also wrote a letter to the director appreciating the movie, ‘Jai Bhim’.

The petitioners said that despite all these accolades and positive responses, the complainant had approached the Metropolitan Magistrate court in Saidapet, Chennai, and obtained an order on May 6 to register an FIR against the filmmakers.

It may be noted that the Rudra Vanniyar Sena and the complainant were aggrieved over the villain being named ‘Gurumurthy’ and a calendar of the Vanniyar Sangam was hanging behind his seat in a scene. This has led to the Vanniyar community coming out against the movie actor Suriya and director, T.S. Gjanavel.

I dedicate this award to my kids Diya and Dev and to my loving family.”

Looking to thank all his fans, whom he considers his brothers and sisters, Suriya said, “I share this joyous moment with all my brothers and sisters who are out there, who have shown me immense love and acceptance right through my career. My heartfelt thanks to you all my anbaana fans.”
