Friday was 11-11-11. Not ready to miss this unique date, director Suraj started shooting his next film, which has Karthi Sivakumar and Anushka in lead roles. According to sources, the movie hit the floors on a wooden bungalow set erected at Chalakudy in Kerala.

"Suraj, who is known for his commercial entertainers, is bouncing back with this movie. The yet-to-be-titled venture is an action-comedy entertainer. Karthi has almost completed shooting for Saguni, and will now turn his focus on this Suraj-directed movie," sources say.

Popular cinematographer Saravanan, who had directed STR starrer 'Silambattam', will wield the camera, while music is by Devi Sri Prasad. "Known for completing shootings on a fast track, Suraj is expected to wrap up the film at the earliest to make it hit the screens for summer," add sources.

This is first time for Karthi and Anushka to come together. Though it was rumoured that both would share the screen space in 'Siruthai', the Tamil remake of Tollywood hit 'Vikramarkudu' which had Anushka in the lead, Tamannah romanced Karthi in the commercial entertainer.
