We had earlier reported that director Siva will be teaming up with Suriya for an upcoming project, tentatively referred to as Suriya 39. Reports now suggest that the filmmaker has started working on this project. 

Earlier, as Siva was tapped to direct Annaththe featuring Rajinikanth, it was expected that work for the Suriya film would begin post Annaththe. But now, owing to the pandemic and Rajinikanth’s health, reports suggest that shooting for Annaththe will resume only in June, after the Tamil Nadu General Elections.

Siva is therefore said to have begun pre-production work on the Suriya project in between, and announcements can be expected from the team soon about the cast and crew.

Meanwhile, Suriya recently finished shooting for Gautham Vasudev Menon’s portion in the Netflix Tamil anthology, Navarasa. Apart from Suriya 39, the actor also has Vetri Maaran’s Vaadivasal and a film with Pandiraj that is produced by Sun Pictures.
