South director SJ Suryah has made a name for himself as a director, but he is equally a good actor. Among those who like his acting is actor Nani, who will be sharing the screen with the actor-director in ‘Saripodha Sanivaram’. The Natural Star, as fans fondly address him, recently shared that he is sure that Suryah is made to act in films.

“SJ Suryah is a wonderful actor. I grew up watching his films, and when he turned to acting, I was curious but skeptical,” Nani admitted. “Now, I am completely convinced that he is meant to act in films. His screen energy is remarkable, and he brings a unique presence to everything he does.”

Nani emphasised Suriya’s contribution to the film. “Watching the film today, it is evident that without him we wouldn’t have been able to make the same impact. His acting and presence made many scenes even better, and for that, he deserves a lot of credit.”

The chemistry between Nani and SJ Suryah is expected to be the highlight of ‘Saripodha Sanivaram’, adding depth and intensity to the film’s narrative. After starting with uncredited roles and cameos, he moved to full-fledged roles after 2015 and has not looked back. He will play the antagonist in ‘Saripodha Sanivaram’ alongside Nani.

Produced by DVV Entertainment, the film is written and directed by Vivek Athreya. Apart from Nani and Priyanka, the film stars many great actors like SJ Suryah and Sai Kumar P. The film is set to release on August 29, 2024. ‘Saripodha Sanivaram’ will also be released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam,
