Though it was released via OTT platforms, the much praised film ‘Soorarai Pottru’, directed by Sudha Kongara and starring Suriya, was a big hit. The film attracted a big audience and took home several national honors. Suriya personally is producing the Bollywood remake of the successful movie.

The upcoming cooperation between Suriya and Sudha Kongara was high. The pair revealed a new project called ‘Purananooru’, a period drama grounded on actual occurrences. Dulquer Salmaan and Nazriya were first said to be joining Suriya in this movie. The project was shelved before filming started, though, which sparked a lot of conjecture about the causes behind this choice.

Suriya is working on ‘Suriya 44’ under director Karthik Subbaraj right now. Amidst this, there have been speculations regarding the upcoming movie of Sudha Kongara. It is currently under conjecture that Sudha will lead a fresh project alongside Sivakarthikeyan. With shooting anticipated to begin later this year, reports indicate that the plot meant for *Purananuru* might be changed for this new movie.

At first, Dulquer Salmaan was claimed to be rather important in ‘Purananooru’. New sources, however, suggest that Sudha Kongara intends to call a different actor for this role. There should shortly be an official statement about the cast and production crew.

Moreover, it is said that Sivakarthikeyan, presently collaborating with filmmaker AR Murugadoss, will team with Sudha Kongara on this next project. The official confirmation and further information on this fascinating new partnership much awaited by fans.
