Suriya,
the
Nadippin
Nayagan
of
Tamil
cinema
is
currently
busy
with
the
shooting
of
Gautham
Menon's
segment
in
Navarasa.
The
actor-director
duo
is
teaming
up
for
the
Mani
Ratnam
production,
which
has
been
slated
to
be
released
on
Netflix.
According
to
the
grapevine,
Suriya
will
be
seen
romancing
the
popular
Malayalam
actress
Prayaga
Martin
in
the
Gautham
Menon
directorial.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
young
actress
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
female
lead
in
the
segment.
In
that
case,
it
will
be
the
second
Tamil
outing
of
Prayaga
Martin,
who
made
her
Tamil
debut
with
the
Mysskin
directorial
Pisaasu,
in
2014.
However,
the
Navarasa
team
is
yet
to
make
an
official
confirmation
on
this
report
yet.
Recently,
veteran
cinematographer
PC
Sreeram,
who
is
the
DOP
of
the
project,
had
revealed
Suriya's
look
for
Navarasa
through
his
Instagram
page.
In
the
pictures
that
have
been
going
viral,
the
actor
is
seen
in
a
very
unique
get
up
with
a
slightly
curled
long
hairdo,
with
a
clean-shaven
look.
One
of
the
leaked
pictures
hints
that
Suriya's
character
in
the
film
is
a
singer.
Coming
to
Navarasa,
the
project
is
an
anthology
web
series
that
consists
of
9
short
films.
All
the
segments
are
said
to
be
based
on
9
human
emotions
aka
'rasas'.
The
project
is
headed
and
produced
by
the
veteran
filmmaker
Mani
Ratnam,
along
with
the
senior
director
Jayendra
Pachapakesan,
under
his
home
banner
Madras
Talkies.
Along
with
Gautham
Menon,
the
promising
project
will
consist
of
eight
more
short
films
that
are
directed
by
the
most
talented
filmmakers
of
the
Tamil
film
industry
including
Karthik
Subbaraj,
KV
Anand,
Karthick
Naren,
Ponram,
Bejoy
Nambiar,
Halitha
Shameem,
and
actor
Arvind
Swami.
Navarasa
is
expected
to
be
released
on
Netflix
by
the
first
half
of
2021.
