Actor Suriya, who will next be seen in Siruthai Siva's Kanguva, is working on Karthik Subbaraj's film tentatively titled Suriya 44.

To celebrate the actor's 27th year in films, the makers released a new poster where he is riding a bike. His first film, Nerrukku Ner, also starring Vijay, Simran, and Kausalya, was released on September 6 in 1997.

Suriya 44 also stars Pooja Hegde, Jayaram, Joju George, and Karunakaran in pivotal roles. The yet-to-be-titled film marks Karthik's 12th directorial and his first collaboration with Suriya.

The technical crew of Suriya 44 comprises music composed by Karthik Subbaraj's regular collaborator Santhosh Narayanan, cinematography by Shreyaas Krishna, editing by Shafique Mohamed, art direction by Jackson and action choreography by Kecha Khamphakdee.

Suriya's upcoming Kanguva, with Siruthai Siva, was initially planned to release on October 10, but was pushed further to avert a clash with Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan. The film is yet to be given a new release date.
