Suriya is having a busy and eventful year with two releases—RJ Balaji's recently-released Karuppu, which was a blockbuster at the box office, earning over Rs 300 crore and the upcoming Vishwanath & Sons from Venky Atluri which is slated for a August 14 release. But it looks like before the end of 2026, the noted actor will be signing off with a third release.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Suriya confirmed that his next project, Suriya 47, which had wrapped filming recently, will release by the end of this year. Directed by Jithu Madhavan in his foray to Tamil cinema, the yet-to-be-titled film is being backed by Suriya's production banner Zhagaram Studios alongside his 2D Entertainment banner, through which Jyothika also backs the film.
Besides Suriya, the upcoming film stars Nazriya Nazim and Naslen. The film marks the first collaboration between the three actors, as well as the third project in director Jithu Madhavan's career.
For the unversed, he is known for the hit horror-comedy Romancham, featuring an ensemble cast, and the wacky entertainer Aavesham, starring Fahadh Faasil in the lead role.
Jithu Madhavan also served as a writer on films such as Painkili and Balan: The Boy. Recently, Jithu revealed that Suriya 47 would be a film that caters to the sensibilities of the audience in Tamil Nadu. While the makers are yet to reveal plot specifics, reports suggest that Suriya stars in the film as an eccentric police officer who leads a team of cops that mirror his personality.
On the technical front, Suriya's 47th film has composer Sushin Shyam, who makes his debut in Tamil cinema with it. The makers of Suriya 47 are yet to offer further details about the project, including its additional cast and crew members and release date.
