Sudha Kongara and Suriya created quite the awe on the screens in their last collaboration, the film Soorarai Pottru. However, even though the duo was set to join hands once again, it seems that one might have to wait for it to be a reality.
According to a report by Indiaglitz Tamil, Sudha Kongara and Suriya have allegedly parted ways for their next film Purnanooru with the former likely to cast Dhanush as the lead.
Is Sudha Kongara’s Purnanooru set to have Dhanush in the lead role?
According to speculations, Sudha Kongara and Suriya have allegedly parted ways due to some creative differences over the movie. It is also said that they have gone their separate routes over the film in a friendly manner without any conflict.
The report suggests that the director is likely to go ahead with Dhanush in the lead role and is also in talks with Sivakarthikeyan to replace Dulquer Salmaan in the film as well. However, these are reports as of now with an official confirmation from the makers still pending.
The movie Purnanooru was said to be based on the 1965 Hindi imposition movement that took place in Tamil Nadu and the protests surrounding it. The film was supposed to be the immediate project of Suriya after completing Kanguva which would have featured him as a college student.
Moreover, the film was also said to have Nazriya Nazim, Dulquer Salmaan, and Vijay Varma in key roles. However, the project was initially said to be delayed due to the extensive pre-production that was required.
Furthermore, Sudha Kongara is currently gearing up for the release of her Hindi movie Sarfira starring Akshay Kumar. The film is the official Hindi remake of Soorarai Pottru with Suriya also playing a cameo role.
