The Suriya 44 announcement has come after Suriya and National Award winner Sudha Kongara announced earlier this month that their Suriya 43 / Puranaanooru will require more time. Revealing that their venture also announced to be starring Malayalam actors Dulquer Salmaan and Nazriya Fahadh, and Bollywood star Vijay Varma in pivotal roles with music by National Award winner G. V. Prakash will be going on floors soon, Suriya went on to inform that he and Sudha Kongara, with whom he had previously collaborated in Soorarai Pottru (2020), are working towards giving the audience their best. With Suriya 44 now official, it will be interesting to see what Suriya and Karthik Subbaraj have planned for their film, which looks to be high on fun-filled action and entertainment.
