Suriya 43: Suriya to star with Dulquer Salmaan, Vijay Varma in Purananooru
Suriya 43 will be directed by Sudha Kongara.

Tamil superstar Suriya on Thursday officially announced his next project, which will mark his reunion with director Sudha Kongara. He shared a small promo video revealing the official title of the project, which was temporarily titled Suriya 43.

The project has been titled Purananooru. Besides playing the lead role, Suriya will also bankroll the movie under his home production banner 2D Entertainment.

"Dear all we are excited! Joining hands with @Sudha_Kongara again in a @gvprakash musical, his 100th! SO looking forward to work with my brother @dulQuer & the talented #Nazriya & the performance champ @MrVijayVarma Glad @2D_ENTPVTLTD is producing this special film!," Suriya tweeted.

Judging from the promo, it seems like Purananooru is a high-voltage political drama. The old transistor radio, retro-style microphone and other elements in the promo suggest that it's also likely to be a period drama.

Sudha Kongara seems to have pulled off some casting coup of sorts for Purananooru. For the first time, we will see Suriya sharing screen space with Malayalam star Dulquer Salmaan. What's more, it will also star Nazriya Fahadh and Bollywood actor Vijay Varma.

Nazriya Fahadh and Dulquer have done several movies in Tamil in the past. However, this film marks Vijay Varma's debut in the South. "Happy to be a part of #Suriya43 alongside such talented people. Let's make it epic," Vijay Varma reacted to the announcement.

Purananooru is also a landmark film in composer GV Prakash's career. It marks his 100th movie in his music composing career. "My 100th film as a composer is with the national award winning combination of my favorite @Sudha_Kongara and the terrific @Suriya_offl sir #Suriya43," said the composer.

Purananooru is the second collaboration between Sudha Kongara, Suriya and GV Prakash. Earlier, the trio delivered Soorarai Pottru, which became a critical darling after its release. The movie was released directly on OTT in 2020 owing to the pandemic.
