SURIYA ON HIGH POWER MODE!

V Lakshmi

Looks like the last few days have been quite arduous for actor Suriya and director K V Anand. The two, who are joining hands after Ayan for Maattrraan, have been shooting late in the evenings for a high-octane action scene in the film. Anand says, "About 70 per cent of the film is complete and we're wrapping up an action sequence now." While he refused to give out more details on the film, a source tells us, "A huge set has been erected on the OMR, where the team shot for three days. A week-long schedule has been planned in Hyderabad. Anand, Suriya and the rest of the crew will shoot in a film city, where another set is being constructed. The actordirector duo is leaving no stone unturned to make sure this film turns out to be as big a hit as their last one." Maattrraan also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Sachin Khedekar and Vivekh. Isha Sharvani appears in a special number in the film.

This is a big moment for Hansika as she has signed on the first Tamil film in 2012 opposite none other than Suriya! The movie, to be directed by Hari, is being touted as a Singam sequel. Confirming the news, Hansika says, "I am very excited about working with director Hari, who I am sure, will help bring out the best in me by utilizing my talent. The film is expected to go on floors shortly." The actress is indeed visibly excited about working with Suriya. She says, "I have been an ardent fan of Suriya, ever since Ghajini. I have met him at a few film events and awards functions. I consider myself really lucky to have bagged the female lead opposite him in this film."
Earlier, Hansika had mentioned that she was checking out a few scripts in Tamil from which she would choose two. "The other film will be decided soon. Meanwhile, there are some projects in the pipeline in Telugu as well."
Director Hari says, "Hansika has been confirmed for this next project with Suriya. The film, which is currently untitled, has Suriya, Anushka, Hansika and Santhanam playing key roles. Santhanam is doing a film with me for the first time. Hansika has also been paired opposite Suriya and will have a good role."
Whether the movie is a sequel to Singam, the director says, "That's still under consideration. It may or may not be as there are still some things to be firmed up in the script."
