Watch: Suriya’s First Look From Karthi Subbaraj’s Next Unveiled, Fans Can't Keep Calm

It’s time for Suriya fans to rejoice as the actor has finally commenced shooting for his next film, tentatively titled Suriya 44. Directed by Karthik Subbaraj, who is known for helming the 2023 blockbuster Jigarthanda DoubleX, the film also stars Pooja Hegde, Jayaram, Karuna Karan and Joju George in the lead roles.

On Sunday, both the actor and the director took to their Instagram accounts and shared a special video announcing that the shooting for the film has begun and also revealed the actor’s first look from the project.

The highlight of the clip was Suriya’s retro look which left the audience amazed.

In the video, Suriya is seen sitting on a ledge with suitcases, facing his back at the camera and looking at the sea. After the clap, the camera zooms in with intriguing music playing in the background, he then turns around and glares before giving an evil sarcastic smile. The actor then asks the camera to come close with an intense look on his face.

The Jai Bhim actor was dressed in a multicoloured striped shirt, a retro long mullet hairstyle and a Fu-Manchu-style moustache.

“Lights! Camera!! Action!!! #suriya44 #lovelaughterwar #akarthiksubbarajpadam Shoot in progress…,” Suriya captioned the video.

Karthik, on the other hand, wrote, “The First Shot…#Suriya44.”

Soon after the actor shared the announcement video, fans swamped down the comment section and expressed their excitement for Suriya 44. An Instagram user wrote, “Time to reclaim his position (No.1).” Another Insta user wrote, “This is gonna be big (fire emoticons).”

“Everybody is a gangster, till you see the monster,” wrote another fan.

Suriya made the official announcement of the film earlier in March this year by sharing a poster of Suriya 44. The poster featured an arrow passing through a log of wood that was burning against the fire. “New beginnings..! Need all your good wishes! #LoveLaughterWar @karthiksubburaj,” the actor wrote on his X account.

However, the official release date of the film is still awaited. Apart from this, Suriya will be next seen in the warrior action film titled Kanguva which also stars Bobby Deol and Disha Patani in the lead roles. Helmed by Siva, the film is all set to hit the theatres later this year.
