Shooting wrapped up for Suriya-Selvaraghavan's NGK

After waiting with bated breath for an update from Nandha Gopala Kumaran, Suriya fans were in for a pleasant surprise, days ahead of Pongal. NGK director Selvaraghavan took to social media to announce that the shooting for the film has been completed. "It has been a fantastic journey filming with the one and only Suriya sir. Truly amazed by his wonderful talent and dedication," said Selvaraghavan. 

In his reply to the message, Suriya thanked his director for giving him a "high both on and off the camera". The film, which was originally slated to release for Diwali 2018, also stars Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet in important roles. 

NGK marks the first collaboration between Suriya and Selvaraghavan, and is bankrolled by SR Prabhu of Dream Warriors Pictures. The film has music by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Apart from NGK, Suriya has KV Anand's Kaappaan in the pipeline, in which he shares screen space with Mohanlal, Arya, and Sayyeshaa.
