However, according to the latest reports, SJ Suryah has refuted such rumours.

Reportedly, the actor-director gave clarity on this during a recent conversation. He mentioned that nobody has approached him to play the lead antagonist in Valimai.

On the other hand, SJ Suryah, who has now shifted focus to acting is not new to villain roles. He had played the main antagonist in Mersal, in which he was pitted opposite Thalapathy Vijay. The actor-director impressed everyone as the main villain in the 2017 movie. He also played the antagonist in the Mahesh Babu starrer Spyder, directed by popular filmmaker AR Murugadoss.

Meanwhile, SJ Suryah is busy with his other acting ventures. He will be seen playing the lead in the upcoming movie Bommai, which is being directed by Radha Mohan.

At the same time, reports suggest that the first schedule of Valimai will commence in December. The team is expected to announce the star cast of the movie soon.
