SR Prabhu will back Suriya's next project under his banner Dream Warrior Pictures, the acclaimed production house behind blockbusters like Joker, Aruvi, Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru, Kaithi, Sulthan, Oke Oka Jeevitham and Farhana. The production house officially launched their most ambitious project yet, Suriya 45, with a traditional puja ceremony.
This untitled film is set to be the most expensive in the studio's stellar catalogue. R J Balaji, known for directing humorous yet socially conscious films such as Mookuthi Amman and Veetla Vishesham, will take the helm for this large-scale action adventure.
Currently, RJ Balaji is focused on the pre-production work of Suriya 45. The multi-talented filmmaker has spent more than a year crafting this engaging script and has been travelling to different locations to identify the ideal sites for this exciting entertainer.
Academy Award-winning composer A R Rahman will score the music for this project. Rahman and Suriya have previously collaborated on classic films such as Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, Aayudha Ezhuthu and 24. The National Award-winning actor-composer duo believes this new film will also add to the prestigious list of songs cherished by music lovers.
Suriya 45 is all set to have an impressive star cast and top-tier technicians. It is set to begin filming in November 2024 and is scheduled for release in the second half of 2025.
