Shankar-Suriya Set Stage For Big Budget Project

Suriya has been chasing a big hit after Kanguva and Retro didn’t really work out. Now, word is he might team up with Shankar. Once upon a time, Shankar was known for big blockbusters, but his recent films like Indian 2 and Gamechanger didn’t really click.

This time, Shankar is apparently planning a historical movie based on the novel Velpari. Pre-production seems to be happening quietly, and fans are already buzzing about what it might look like.

The latest talk is that Suriya could play the lead in the upcoming big-budget historical movie. He’s never worked with Shankar before, so the collaboration looks interesting so this would be a first, and if it happens, but bad luck should not follow this team. Right now, Suriya is busy with Karuppu, which is about to release in January 2026, and he’s also working on a film with Telugu director Venky Atluri for an intense drama movie. After that, there are whispers about a project with a Malayalam director.

Fans of both Suriya and Shankar really want this one to work. Both are super talented, so fingers crossed they hit the right notes this time. It’s going to be interesting to see how this whole thing pans out.
