After a long wait, actor-director S J Suryah is all set to commence his next Thirumagan. Since the drubbing of his last Kalvanin Kadhali, Suryah has been maintaining a stoic silence about his next.

Thirumagan being directed by debutant Rathnakumar brings together Meera Jasmine and Suryah for the first time. After Vaali and Kushi, Suryah and Deva come together, though the director had not forayed into acting then. Lyricist Vairamuthu has penned all the six songs. Suryah's role is totally in contrast to the freakier ones he did before, revealed the director.

On his part, the actor has been undergoing rigorous silambam training from stunt master Kanal Kannan.

The chemistry of the unlikely pair remains to be seen in the movie produced by S Thanu under the banner of V Creations. The initial schedule is on at Kambam, Theni and nearby places.

S J Suryah has grown a thick mop of hair for the film.

So Suryah too has fallen for the looks-change trend in the industry.
