Now, exciting news has emerged that Suriya has signed his first-ever direct Telugu film, which will be helmed by Venky Atluri. The filmmaker is known for successful films like Sir with Dhanush and Lucky Baskhar with Dulquer Salmaan.
According to sources close to the production house, the film is set to go on floors in May 2025. Pre-production is progressing at a brisk pace, with Naga Vamsi, the renowned producer behind Sithara Entertainments, backing this ambitious project on a grand scale.
