On Sunday, Scene action director Chethan D'Souza spoke about his experience working Suriya in the film, directed by Jithu Madhavan. Sharing behind-the-scenes stills from the set, where Suriya can be seen actively involved in its making, the stunt choreographer wrote, "Still remember being fascinated by his moves in 7 Aum Arivu back in 2011. Watching him on screen only strengthened my dream of getting into the film industry and making something of myself. Cut to 2026, and here I am, directing action for SCENE!"

Also starring Naslen and Nazriya Nazim, the film has a sequence where Suriya's cop makes fun of his martial arts sequence from 7 Aum Arivu. Suriya has been receiving much appreciation for shedding his vanity and submitting himself fully to Jithu Madhavan's vision. Speaking about the qualities of the actor that appealed to him, Chethan added, "He doesn’t just play a character, he lives it. His eye for detail is incredible. The amount of thought and insight he shared with me about his character was immense. Working with him brought out the director in me, beyond just being an action director."

The action choreographer concluded his thoughts, saying, "From admiring him on screen to collaborating with him creatively, it’s been quite a journey. Thank you for trusting me and making me a part of this project Suriya sir."

Scene follows Suriya's police officer, Inbaraj, who looks into a series of murders that have an eerie connection to one of his past cases. Assisting him in the case is Nazriya's Maya, while Naslen plays the antagonist.

The film has already earned around 230 crore from theatres worldwide after ten days of its release, according to data from the tracker Sacnilk. It is Suriya's third blockbuster in 2026, after Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons.
