S.J.
Suryah
has
been
reportedly
roped
in
to
play
the
antagonist
in
superstar
Mahesh
Babu's
next
Tamil-Telugu
bilingual
project,
which
is
slated
to
go
on
the
floors
from
June-July.
"Suryah
has
been
finalised
for
the
project.
The
makers
had
initially
planned
to
rope
in
a
Bollywood
star;.
However,
it
was
director
Murugadoss
who
suggested
it
would
be
interesting
to
work
with
Suryah," a
source
from
the
film's
camp
revealed.
To
keep
himself
available
for
the
project,
Suryah
had
to
miss
out
on
an
opportunity
to
work
with
Dhanush.
"Suryah
was
approached
to
play
the
baddie
in
Dhanush's
Enai
Nokki
Paayum
Thota,
but
he
couldn't
accept
the
offer
as
he
had
already
committed
his
dates
to
Mahesh's
project,"
he
said.
Tipped
to
be
a
Rs.90-crore
actioner,
the
film
will
be
predominantly
shot
in
Mumbai,
and
the
makers
are
on
the
lookout
for
the
leading
lady.
The
film
will
be
bankrolled
by
Tagore
Madhu.
On
the
other
hand,
S
J
Suryah
will
be
directing
Pawan
Kalyan's
next
film,
which
is
a
love
story
with
faction
back-drop.
Incidentally,
Suryah
worked
with
Mahesh
and
Pawan
earlier
too
for
the
films
Nani
and
Khushi
respectively.
So,
it
is
obvious
that
the
director
is
the
most
wanted
among
the
fan
clubs,
to
get
any
news
about
the
star' upcoming
projects.
