Suriya meets Sachin Tendulkar, see photo: 'Respect and love'

Tamil superstar Suriya on Sunday met the cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai. The picture of the duo from the meeting is going viral on social media. 

In the picture, Suriya could be seen striking a very humble pose in a way that shows his respect for Sachin. It's unclear what was the nature of the meeting. Suriya posted the picture on his Instagram page and captioned, "Respect and Love." 

Last week, Sachin was seen rubbing shoulders with the stars of the south Indian film industry in Hyderabad. The cricket great was there to watch the 2023 Hyderabad E-Prix. The grand international sporting event drew some high-profile motorsport enthusiasts. The Akkineni family, including Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil, KGF star Yash, and Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan were present at the event. 

Suriya, meanwhile, is busy shooting for his upcoming film with director Siva. The project has been tentatively titled Suriya 42 and it has created quite a hype among movie fans. The filmmakers are taking extra caution to protect the sanctity of the project. And so far they have successfully managed to prevent significant leaks about the project. 

Suriya 42 is touted to be a costume drama. The first look poster of the movie suggested a fantasy drama against the backdrop of a battlefield. The teaser promised that Suriya will be seen in a never-before-seen warrior avatar, which will be a first in the star's career. 

Last week, the producers released a video showing Suriya working out in preparation for his role in the movie. The video showing Suriya doing pull-ups went viral giving his fans serious fitness goals. 

Bollywood actor Disha Patani is also said to be playing a key role in Suriya 42. The filmmakers are yet to reveal the full details of the cast and crew. 

Suriya was last seen in director Lokesh Kangaraj's Vikram. His cameo appearance in the climax almost stole the thunder from the performances of Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil.
