Top Tamil actor Suriya who has done several critically acclaimed films in the recent times is busy with a commercial entertainer directed by Shiva. The film is the 42nd film of Suriya and it is shot in 3D. The film will also have its release in ten languages and it is termed as a pan-world film. Disha Patani is the leading lady and a major schedule of the film has been wrapped up recently. Pen Studios has acquired the Hindi theatrical rights of the film for a record price.

It is speculated that the rights are picked up for a record price of Rs 100 crores. This includes the digital, satellite and theatrical rights in Hindi. The makers are in plan to complete the entire shooting portions of the film by the end of March. The release date of the film will be announced soon.

Top actor Suriya is all set to work with his mentor Bala after almost two decades and their third collaboration is titled Vanangaan. The latest update says that Suriya walked out of the project and the director Bala decided to go ahead with the film without Suriya. The official statement of Bala told that there are several changes done to the script and the changes will not suit Suriya. He also added saying that Suriya has complete trust in him. Bala said that Suriya is upset with the decision. Suriya who is a non-controversial actor remained tight-lipped and did not respond for the same.

But there are strong talks that there are creative differences between Suriya and Bala for Vanangaan. Bala said that they will soon join hands and the film would be bigger than Nandha and Pithamagan. The rumors about Suriya walking out of the film have been out since May this year. Suriya’s 2D Entertainment will also back out from the production of Vanangaan. Krithi Shetty is the leading lady and GV Prakash Kumar is scoring the music for Vanangaan.

Actor Suriya began shooting for director Siva’s upcoming action entertainer, tentatively titled #Suriya42, on Wednesday.

The film was formally flagged off with a pooja ceremony on Sunday. Taking to Twitter, Suriya said: “Shoot begins! Need all your blessings!”

Director Siva said: “Sai Sai. Very happy to start our new project with the blessings of God and best wishes of all the fans, media friends, cinema lovers, well wishers. Thank you Surya sir, Studiogreen, UV Creations. Siva and team #Suriya42.”

The film is being produced by Studio Green Gnanavel Raja and Devi Sri Prasad is the music composer. Cinematography for the film is by Vetri Palanisamy, who had filmed superhits such as the Ajith-starrer ‘Veeram’ and ‘Vedalam’.

Richard Kevin, who did a fine job editing superhits such as the critically acclaimed ‘Vikram Vedha’ and the recently released web series ‘Suzhal’, has been brought onboard as the film’s editor.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin has congratulated actor Suriya, who on Wednesday became the first actor from south India to receive an invite from the prestigious Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which presents the Oscar Awards each year, to join it in 2022.

The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, while congratulating Suriya, said, the latter had become the first south Indian actor to receive an invite from the prestigious Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which determines the winners of the Oscar Awards each year, to be a part of it.

The invite, the Chief Minister said, was a recognition of Suriya’s evolved acting skills and his choice of stories that were focussed on societal well being.

Talented actor Suriya is working with his mentor and talented director Bala. The film is yet to be titled and two major schedules of the film are completed.
