The
makers
of
Suriya-starrer
Tamil
actioner
S3,
which
is
nearing
completion,
are
headed
to
Malaysia
to
shoot
the
climax.
The
film
is
gearing
up
for
a
grand
release
this
Diwali.
"The
team
along
with
Suriya
leaves
on
Friday
(August
26)
to
Malaysia.
It
will
be
a
two-week
schedule
and
they
will
shoot
some
important
sequences
apart
from
a
major
action
block.
Apart
from
this
schedule,
the
team
has
one
more
song
to
shoot," a
source
from
the
film's
unit
told
IANS.
Andhra
and
Nizam
Rights
It
is
said
that Malkapuram
Siva
has
bagged
the Andhra
and
Nizam
rights
for
18
Crore
rupees.
Suriya
does
have
a
decent
market
in
Andhra
Pradesh
and
Telangana
and
hence
S3
is
expected
to
do
well
in
those
states.
Kerala
Rights
In
Kerala,
it
is
said
that
the
film
was
sold
for
3.6
Crore
rupees
and
that
a
famous
distribution
company
has
bagged
the
rights.
Release
Date
The
makers
are
hoping
to
release
the
film
for
this
year's
Diwali.
Since
there
are
no
other
major
Tamil
releases
around
that
time,
S3
is
expected
to
present
Suriya
his
biggest
opener
ever.
It
Is
'S3'
After
'Kabali'
S3
will
be
shot
in
some
of
the
prime
locations
in
Malaysia.
It
is
said
that
the
team
will
travel
to
places
where
Rajinikanth's
Kabali
had
been
shot,
not
many
days
ago.
Other
Cast
&
Crew
Apart
from
the
lead
actors,
S3
has
some
of
the
seasoned
performers
like Raadhika
Sarathkumar, Robo
Shankar,
Chaams
and
Nithin
Sathya.
While Priyan
handles
the
camera, VT
Vijayan
will
take
care
of
the
editing
bit.
Harris
Jayaraj
Harris
Jayaraj
will
be
composing
music
for
a
Suriya-starrer
after
a
long
time.
All
of
his
previous
flicks
starring
the
Ghajini actor
have
been
musical
hits
and
the
same
would
be
expected
from
S3
as
well.
The
film
marks
the
debut
of
Hindi
television
actor
Thakur
Anoop
Singh,
who
will
be
playing
the
antagonist.
Directed
by
Hari,
the
project
also
stars
Shruti
Haasan
and
Anushka
Shetty
in
the
lead.
S3
is
being
bankrolled
by
KE
Gnanavel
Raja
of
Studio
Green
and
Suriya,
according
to
the
source,
will
return
in
his
police
avatar,
but
in
a
more
fierce
role.
Meanwhile,
the
Tamil
Nadu
theatrical
rights
of
S3
have
been
sold
for
a
whopping
41
Crore
rupees,
which
is
said
to
be
the
highest
price
for
any
Suriya-starrer.
While
many
distribution
companies
had
their
eyes
set
on
the
rights
of
S3,
it
was
Udhayam
Entertainment
which
successfully
bagged
the
rights
in
the
end.
