Exciting news has arrived that Suriya is set to begin shooting for this biggie in June mid, most probably on June 17th. Sources said that Santhosh Narayanan will be composing the musical score for 'Suriya 44' with Thirunavukkarasu of '24' and 'Petta' fame to take care of the camera work. The expectations among the fans have grown multifold after this buzz.

This news is now doing rounds on the internet. 'Suriya 44' is touted to be a period action adventure film. Director Karthik Subbaraj's father confirmed in a recent interview that the filming will be commenced in June. On the work front, Suriya also has the magnum opus Karna project with the National Award-winning director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. 'Kanguva' is expected to hit the screens later this year.
