Kollywood is boiling over with speculation as superstar Suriya is set for his 50th film launch. There is talk of director Nelson Dilipkumar, a Bollywood legend with his own dark humour, is very much in the mix to manage the project, of course.
If there is a deal between the two of them it is expected that director Nelson Dilipkumar, who has one of the best dark humour and is known to be very popular among Suriya’s fans, will be the director.
And to make it even more exciting, Sithara Entertainments is rumored to bankroll the film, keeping it grand and wide. The production house has established itself as a major player in South Indian cinema, and to be associated with Suriya’s landmark movie would only increase the expectations.
The music for the project is probably to be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose energetic and experimental soundtracks have consistently topped charts. Anirudh has collaborated with Nelson on albums that sell out and we are hoping his music can complement Suriya’s performance for this big one.
Industry officials believe that the film could take shape when Suriya gets his much anticipated RKxKH project done. Nelson is a funny character and in this new place, we expect Suriya to become a more strange one. The actor has always reinvented himself in different genres and we hope with this collaboration we can see another aspect of him being flexible.
The buzz of Suriya 50 is already great, with fans and trade analysts predicting record-breaking box office potential. Suriya’s star power, Nelson’s unique storytelling style, Sithara Entertainments’ production power and Anirudh’s music will make it a cinematic spectacle.
If that is confirmed, then Suriya’s 50th film (and this is one of the most eagerly awaited movies in Tamil cinema) has a chance of being Nelson’s next venture. Suriya 50 is a landmark film for the actor not just in the career of Suriya, but also in the landscape of the industry at large.
