Suriya Tamil Movie News

National Award-winning Tamil actor Suriya is all set to take over the big screens with the highly-anticipated Kanguva directed by blockbuster filmmaker Siva. The upcoming film also has Animal villain Bobby Deol playing the antagonist and Disha Patani cast as the female lead, and marks the big Tamil cinema debut for both the leading Bollywood stars. With Suriya set to make his big comeback in cinemas in his first full-length role after Etharkkum Thunindhavan (2022), the leading Tamil actor on Sunday, April 14, on the festive occasion of Tamil New Year released a special poster featuring his dual looks, while reconfirming that the film is indeed on track for a release this year.

Suriya conveyed his Tamil New Year, Vishu, Baisakhi, and Ambedkar Jayanti wishes along with the new Kanguva poster, which shows the actor as a warrior in his first look from ancient times and holding a sword in the background of a burning forest, while looking at a modern version of himself in the time with a machine gun amidst a city backdrop. Initially announced to be coming out as a summer release, this latest Kanguva poster has now revealed that the film will indeed be out in theatres this year and it looks like Suriya's fans will have to wait for some more time and hope for the post-production works to be completed soon.

Kanguva is also set to pave the path for a big Tamil cinema return for Devi Sri Prasad, who has been on a signing spree of late after he won the National Award for Best Music Direction for his work in Telugu superstar Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise (2021), and the hit composer is expected to come out firing on all cylinders for his latest collaboration with Suriya after films Maayavi (2005), Aaru (2005), Singam (2010) and Singam 2 (2013). The hype surrounding Kanguva has been massive right from the get-go, which came to light once again when the sizzle teaser recently received a stellar feedback, with plans on track to release the film in 3D format in more than 10 languages.

It was a memorable evening for Tamil cinema fans on March 29 who got to witness the biggest stars lead the celebrations at the Galatta Golden Stars 2024 and blockbuster filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga was undoubtedly one of the major highlights of the star-studded event. The hit director, who tasted massive commercial success with his Bollywood film, Animal (2023), starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor, was honored with the 'Best Director - 2023' award, which was presented by Telugu superstar Vijay Deverakonda and Mr Eswar Rao, Founder and Managing Director of Max Gold.

Expressing his joy at receiving the big accolade at the Galatta Golden Stars 2024, Sandeep Reddy Vanga started off by saying, "I'm very happy to get the award from Vijay (Deverakonda). In a way, all of this started with Vijay. If Arjun Reddy didn't happen, Kabir Singh would not have happened. And, if Kabir Singh wasn't made, Animal would not exist. So, thank you Vijay and the jury." Vijay Deverakonda, who played the lead in the Animal director's filmmaking debut Arjun Reddy (2017), chimed in saying, "If anybody deserves this award, for me, it's Sandeep. I know how he works as a director from his writing. He will sit on every frame to edit because he loves his hero and he loves his actors, and he wants every minute expression to be perfect. How he sits on the background score, how he sits on the poster, how he sits on the trailer, I know he gave me one of the best films that I'm still remembered for, Arjun Reddy, in my career because of this passion and love for cinema and this love for me. I miss him loads and he deserves every award he receives for being a director." 

We then see a recreation of a scene from Arjun Reddy at the Galatta Golden Stars 2024, with Sandeep Reddy Vanga calling the shots as the director and Vijay Deverakonda coming up with his performance. The evening also saw the leading Telugu actor deliver dialogues from his latest film, Family Star, and setting the stage at the Galatta Golden Stars 2024 for more celebrations. Sandeep, who has garnered a nationwide fan following with Animal after starting his career in South India, shared that he has achieved what he had written and executed, and mentioned about how the film going on to earn more than 1000 crores in collections is a big accomplishment for him. 

Sandeep Reddy Vanga also went on to reveal that National Award-winning actor Suriya would fit the bill for Ranbir Kapoor's role in Animal in Tamil, while also talking about the film's sequel, Animal Park, saying it's "going to be wilder and bigger." Speaking about the shooting plans at the Galatta Golden Stars 2024, the hit filmmaker said, "2026 I'll start the film." In regard to whether there will be a Sandeep Cinematic Universe where characters from his films Arjun Reddy, Kabir Singh, Animal and his upcoming Spirit with Prabhas cross over, Sandeep said, "Never thought [about it], but it's interesting to see all four together like that. But, if anything strikes, I'll definitely do. For sure."

Leading Tamil actress Jyotika recently made her big Bollywood comeback after 25 years in Shaitaan alongside Ajay Devgn and Madhavan, and will next be seen in the upcoming Srikanth, a biopic on visually-impaired industrialist Srikanth Bolla being portrayed by Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao, which has been announced to open in cinemas on May 10. With her performance in Shaitaan earning her immense praise once again from audiences and critics alike, Jyotika recently sat down with Galatta India's Nayandeep Rakshit for a candid conversation and also took part in a rapid fire segment which saw her talk about her husband and actor Suriya. 

During the interview, Jyotika, who was queried about the one quality she likes and tolerates about Suriya, said, "What I love about him is that he gives me a lot of respect and a lot of space. Tolerate? Maybe bathroom timings (laughs). He's always in the bathroom for a long time. It's a fight in the morning." Talking about what Suriya loves the most and tolerates about her, Jyotika said, "I think he should be loving the friendship we have. Tolerating I think, he tolerates a lot. It will be a list. So, he's the listener and I'm the talker. So, maybe he really tolerates a lot what I talk." Speaking about the one acting role she feels is Suriya's best to date, Jyotika said, "I loved his performance in this Mani Ratnam film Aayutha Ezhuthu, which was called in Hindi as Yuva. I loved his work in that film and definitely Jai Bhim is one of my top." As for the one film that she liked starring alongside Suriya in, she said, "Kaakha Kaakha. I think that film had a magic about it." 

The last time Jyotika and Suriya shared screen space as the lead pair was in Sillunu Oru Kaadhal (2006) and Tamil cinema fans have since been waiting with bated breath for the duo to appear together in a film once again. The fan favorite couple have so far featured in seven films together starting with Poovellam Kettuppar (1999), Uyirile Kalanthathu (2000), Kaakha Kaakha (2003), Perazhagan (2004), Maayavi (2005), and Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, with Suriya going to appear in a guest role in Jyotika's June R (2006).

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. 

National Award-winning Tamil actor Suriya's Kanguva had an action-packed sizzle teaser released earlier this week to a rousing response and the buzz for the film has shot up after new visuals that were presented for the first time at the Amazon Prime event in Mumbai. The upcoming film directed by blockbuster filmmaker Siva also stars Bollywood sensation Disha Patani and Animal (2023) villain Bobby Deol making their Tamil cinema debut, while the songs and the background score are being composed by hit music director Devi Sri Prasad. With the Kanguva sizzle teaser continuing to be the talk of the town, popular Tamil film producer G. Dhananjeyan Govind has now in an exclusive interview with Galatta opened up on the spectacular feedback to the visuals, while also sharing how the new glimpse has helped the film's business already. 

Speaking about Kanguva, Dhananjeyan said, "The film is doing huge business already. Be it digital or Hindi dubbing, I have received so many phone calls from many states after the release of the Kanguva teaser. There were calls where I was asked about the film's entire distribution in Andhra Pradesh and the price for the Kerala release as there is such a big demand. Gnanavel sir has made it clear that the film should be completed because if we can make such a massive impact with a 55-second teaser, it will be on a bigger level once the teaser and trailer come out. So, let's wait and do the business because there's no hurry." 

Dhananjeyan also opened up about the plans for a Kanguva sequel by saying, "This film is going to be a milestone venture and there's an effort for part 2. So, when there is such an effort, you can't put out a release date and keep giving updates. The one thing I wish to convey to fans is that sharing updates on a weekly basis about a film is not possible. If we give you weekly updates, what will you have when you go to watch the film? You will know everything by then." He added, "This one-minute glimpse of Kanguva that we released wasn't planned at all. Amazon Prime asked us whether we can give them a glimpse for 20-30 seconds. When it's a glimpse, we could show Suriya sir coming and going, and Bobby Deol also appearing, and we then spoke to Siva sir. Gnanavel Raja sir told us coordinate accordingly and hand it over to Amazon Prime. I then asked Siva sir about whether a 30-second glimpse will be ready and he asked whether it will be okay if its duration was longer. It was like asking for tiffin and getting a big lunch, and I said it'd be superb then. He then said we'll release a sizzle teaser. And, after watching it, we were stunned."

National Award-winning Tamil actor Suriya's next big film, Kanguva, directed by blockbuster filmmaker Siva is gearing up for a grand theatrical release this year. With post-production works of the highly-anticipated film already underway at full speed, the makers on Tuesday, March 19, released a sizzle teaser giving audiences a new glimpse at what they will be treated to in cinemas. The Kanguva sizzle teaser starts off by introducing the world centuries back when man was still a tribal and at war with each other, with conquest and dominance as a species being highlighted in the visuals. 

The Kanguva sizzle teaser then goes on to introduce Suriya as a gallant, ruthless, and ferocious warrior, while embodying primal courage and defying all odds and any obstacles before him. We then see Bollywood superstar Bobby Deol coming into the picture as Udhiran and the primary foe to Suriya's Kanguva and a raging blood battle between the duo strongly suggesting that it's a clash of the titans face off. The Kanguva teaser shows Suriya as a charged warrior, who is seen at the top of his energy taking on several others in the forest and on the battlefield, and this glimpse no doubt is exciting from start to end leaving us wanting for more. 

Kanguva has Suriya sharing the screen alongside Bollywood sensation Disha Patani, who is cast as the female lead and is incidentally her big Tamil cinema debut with Bobby Deol. The film also stars Yogi Babu and Natarajan "Natty" Subramaniam in pivotal roles, while the songs and the background score are being composed by Devi Sri Prasad, who hit the high note with his National Award win for his sensational work in Pushpa: The Rise (2021). The Kanguva sizzle teaser shows that there's massive world-building that Suriya and Siva have done and it all now remains to be seen what the duo have cooked for audiences.

Leading Malayalam actor Prithviraj Sukumaran will be seen next in the highly-anticipated film, Aadujeevitham, also being called The Goat Life. The upcoming survival drama film written and directed acclaimed filmmaker Blessy and featuring music composed by Academy Award winner A. R. Rahman is scheduled to open in theatres worldwide starting March 28 and is an adaptation of the 2008 Malayalam novel 'Aadujeevitham' by Benyamin, which is based on a true incident. With an intriguing trailer for The Goat Life released recently and receiving a stellar feedback from fans, Prithviraj has been taking part in the promotions of the film, while also recently sitting down for an exclusive interview with Galatta. 

Prithviraj, who has been promoting The Goat Life aggressively, opened up on the genres he would like to direct leading Tamil actors in starting with 'Superstar' Rajinikanth. Stating that he wished to see the Rajinikanth in a comedy film, Prithviraj revealed that his favorite film of the celebrated Tamil star was Thillu Mullu (1981). He explained, "I wanted to do Bro Daddy with Rajini sir." Upon being queried about the kind of film he would direct Kamal Haasan in, Prithviraj said he would cast the iconic actor in a film set in the drama genre. He said, "He (Kamal Haasan) is one of the greatest dramatic actors the world has ever seen." 

When queried about the genre he would cast 'Thalapathy' Vijay in, Prithviraj opened up by saying, "I would love to do a very dark and real action film with him. Vijay sir does a lot of action films, but without necessarily being in the same line, I feel it would be superb to do a very dark, gritty, and a real film." He added, "It won't be a cinematic action film. I want something more real and gritty." Prithviraj also went on to speak about Suriya and said, "Contrary to popular belief, a love story is candy floss and light. To pull off a love story, you need a fantastic actor. And, Suriya to me is one of the finest actors in the country today. So, I think a beautiful, mature love story would be great."
