Suriya is currently involved in the filming of his two upcoming projects, tentatively titled Suriya 46 and Suriya 47. Amidst the shooting, the latter’s director, Jeethu Madhavan, talked about the project, calling it a “proper Tamil film”.
Jeethu Madhavan confirms Suriya 47 to be a “proper” Tamil film
During a recent media interaction at an airport, Jeethu Madhavan was asked whether Suriya 47 would be like a Malayalam film. In response, the filmmaker said, “The shooting of Suriya 47 is ongoing, and will be updated officially. It will be a proper Tamil film.”
With Neslen expected to play an important role in the film, the director was also asked for an update on Fahadh Faasil’s Awesham 2. However, he clarified that nothing has been confirmed yet and discussions are still going on.
For those unaware, Suriya had earlier announced his collaboration with Jeetu Madhavan for the tentatively titled Suriya 47. The upcoming action-comedy is said to feature the actor as an eccentric police officer who leads a team just like him, but his life is turned upside down when he is assigned a serious case.
Neslen will also play a key role in the film, along with Nazriya Nazim in the co-lead role. Sushin Shyam will be making his debut in Tamil cinema as the music composer of the film.
Surya’s work front
Suriya will next be seen in the lead role in Karuppu, directed by RJ Balaji. The fantasy action film stars Trisha Krishnan in the co-lead role and is said to revolve around a lawyer who gets possessed by a deity and fights against injustice.
Apart from the lead roles, the film is also expected to star Indrans, Naty Subramaniam, Swasika, Shivada and Anagha Maya Ravi in lead roles. Although the official release date has not been announced yet, the film is expected to release in theaters in April 2026.
Looking ahead, Suriya also has another project (tentatively referred to as Suriya 46) with director Venky Atluri, co-starring Mamita Baiju and Raveena Tandon. The film is expected to release after Karuppu in July or August this year.
