Sudha Kongara is one of the most wanted filmmakers down South after delivering back to back blockbuster hit movies 'Irudhi Suttru' and 'Soorarai Pottru' that have also recieved high critical acclaim. She is now in preproduction for the HIndi remake of 'Soorarai Pottru' and is reportedly planning for films with Ajith, Suriya and Karthi.

Meanwhile a Kollywood birdie tells us that Sudha will be on board Suriya's new movie directed by Bala and will serve as the executive producer. She is doing it since Bala is one of her mentors and is currently going through a rough patch personally after his recent divorce from his wife Muthumalar.

Sudha has earlier assisted Bala in 'Paradesi' and also has a long association with Suriya right from 'Aayudha Ezhuthu' in which she worked as assistant director to Mani Ratnam as well.

The as yet untitled Suriya-Bala film has music by G.V. Prakash Kumar and stars Suriya, Jyothika, Atharvaa Murali, Aishwarya Rajesh and Kriti Shetty. The official announcement is expected soon along with other cast and crew details.
