Suri Popcorn Monkey Tiger, which is currently rolling, has had a change of producers, with the previous producer, KP Srikanth, exiting the project and Sudhir coming on board. This will be Sudhir's first production venture.

The next schedule of the film will begin soon in Shivamoga, after which the team will move to Bengaluru and Mumbai.

Suri is currently embroiled in a controversy after a few mischief mongers called for auditions through a fake Instagram account of his. “I am not active on any social media. Secondly, I never called for auditions for my current project, as the entire cast has already been finalised,” says the director, who has been flooded with calls from various aspirants post this incident. “I have informed the cybercrime department,” he adds.

Meanwhile, Srikanth, who produced Tagaru, will be joining hands with Suri for another film, the announcement of which will be made at the “right time.”
