Update:
Suriya
is
gearing
up
for
his
46th
film
as
a
lead
actor,
currently
referred
to
by
its
working
title,
Suriya
46.
The
upcoming
Tamil
family
drama
is
being
produced
by
Sithara
Entertainments
and
directed
by
Venky
Atluri.
Alongside
Suriya,
the
film
features
Mamitha
Baiju
in
the
female
lead,
marking
her
first
on-screen
pairing
with
the
actor.
Raveena
Tandon,
Radhika
Sarathkumar,
and
Bhavani
Sre
have
reportedly
been
cast
in
significant
roles.
The
project
was
publicly
confirmed
in
May
2025
following
initial
announcements
in
April,
with
principal
photography
starting
reportedly
in
Hyderabad
shortly
thereafter.
Production
has
progressed,
with
early
schedules
reportedly
completed
in
Vijayawada
and
later
segments
shot
in
Tirunelveli.
By
mid-July,
reports
indicated
that
two
filming
schedules
had
wrapped,
suggesting
that
the
project
is
moving
along
its
intended
timeline.
Venky
Atluri,
who
had
earlier
collaborated
with
Dhanush
for
Vaathi
(2023),
is
directing
the
film.
Initially,
it
was
reported
that
Venky
would
reunite
with
Dhanush
for
his
second
Tamil
film
after
Vaathi,
but
plans
changed
and
Suriya
was
brought
on
board.
Mamitha
Baiju,
who
received
a
lot
of
attention
for
her
recent
Tamil
film
Dude
(2025),
is
reportedly
playing
a
significant
character
in
the
film.

Music
for
the
film
is
being
composed
by
G.
V.
Prakash
Kumar,
marking
his
second
project
with
Suriya
after
Soorarai
Pottru
(2020)
and
third
with
Venky
Atluri.
In
a
recent
interview,
G.
V.
Prakash
described
the
film
as
a
family
entertainer,
noting
that
it
has
a
tonal
similarity
to
Ala
Vaikunthapurramuloo.
Cinematography
is
handled
by
Nimish
Ravi,
and
editing
is
managed
by
Naveen
Nooli.
The
production
is
reportedly
targeting
a
summer
2026
release,
expected
between
April
and
June,
positioning
the
film
as
one
of
the
significant
Tamil
releases
in
the
early
part
of
the
year.
While
the
plot
details
remain
largely
under
wraps,
the
emphasis
on
family-oriented
storytelling
and
the
combination
of
experienced
actors
with
newcomers
suggest
a
film
aiming
to
appeal
to
a
broad
audience.
As
filming
continues,
industry
observers
are
keeping
a
close
watch
on
updates
from
the
set
and
promotional
announcements.
With
Suriya
at
the
helm,
Suriya
46
is
expected
to
generate
interest
not
only
for
its
cast
and
crew
but
also
for
its
potential
positioning
within
the
family
drama
genre
in
Tamil
cinema.
