Suriya Bollywood strike with Karna

Suriya Bollywood strike with Karna. Since this morning, a photo featuring both Suriya and director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has been circulating online. It has come to light that Suriya is actively engaging with the director to collaborate on the script of "Karna," a narrative centered around the character from the Mahabharata, Karna. 

This signifies Suriya's keen interest in expanding his reach into Bollywood.Suriya's schedule is currently packed with three major projects: "Kanguva," "Suriya 43," and the highly anticipated "Vaadi Vaasal." With such a busy lineup, it's clear that the actor is set to keep audiences enthralled over the next two years.

Back in June of this year, rumors began to circulate that acclaimed director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra had solidified his next directorial venture. According to speculation, he had successfully cast South Indian superstar Suriya as the protagonist in a mythological period drama centered around the character Karna from the epic Mahabharata. This film marks a significant milestone as it represents Suriya's debut in the Hindi film industry and is slated to commence filming early next year. What added weight to these reports was Mehra's response to Suriya's Instagram post, where the latter revealed the title look of his upcoming film, "Kanguva."

Addressing the speculation, Mehra humorously remarked today, "I love the media. They seem to know things before I do (laughs). There are three projects I'm actively working on right now, and Karna is certainly one of them. Let's see which one takes precedence and goes into production first."The accomplished director, known for films like "Toofan" (2021) and "Delhi 6" (2009), divulged that he is currently juggling multiple projects. While he refrained from revealing specific details, he expressed, "The intention is to bring all of them to life, but it depends on various factors, including the alignment of the universe. 

Filmmaking involves numerous variables, and it's also influenced by one's personal readiness to embark on a particular project at a specific phase in life."Several years ago, Mehra had disclosed his aspiration to create two biopics based on Swami Vivekananda and Mother Teresa. When asked if he still intends to direct these projects, he reflected, "I'll embark on those projects when I summon the courage. Tackling Vivekananda's story takes considerable bravery, and delving into Mother Teresa's life requires even more. They were true game-changers and social reformers, individuals who dedicated their lives to serving others."
