surya’s new look
Surya shared the video on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Lights! Camera!! Action!!! #LoveLaughterWar #EkarthikSubbarajpadam shooting in progress…” Karthik revealed that this was his first shot for the film.
The video begins with Surya’s back to the camera and he is looking at the sea holding a suitcase. As the camera zooms in, he turns back and signals the camera to come closer with a sarcastic laugh. In the video, Surya is wearing a colourful striped shirt. He sports a long mullet and Fu-Manchu style facial hair.
Rest of the cast
On Saturday, Karthik announced the rest of the cast of Surya 44 on X. He announced that Pooja Hegde has been roped in to play the lead role in the film. Apart from her, the film will also feature Jayaram, Karuna Karan and Joju George. Surya 44 will have music by Santhosh Narayanan and cinematography by Shreyas Krishna.
The announcement poster of the film showed a burning vintage car. A tree in front of it had a heart drawn on it with an arrow piercing it. ‘Love, Laughter, War’ seems to be the tagline of the film.
Upcoming work
Suriya will soon be seen in the lead role in Siva’s film Kanguva, in which he will be seen in a double role. In one role, he will be seen as a ferocious warrior with long hair, kohl-lined eyes and scars. He will also do a cameo in Sudha Kongara’s film Sarfira, which will feature Akshay Kumar in the lead role.
