After the dismal show of SI 3, Suriya has pinned high hopes on Thaana Serntha Kootam, which is being directed by Vignesh Shivan. The film marks the first-time collaboration of Suriya and the young filmmaker, best known for helming Poda Podi and Naanum Rowdydhaan.

The film’s shooting has been going on without any update for a long time. On Sunday, director Vignesh finally confirmed that the film is entering its final schedule of shoot soon.

Vignesh tweeted that the film is entering its final schedule. He also revealed that they have shot one song and they are planning to release first look and song teaser very soon. Featuring an ensemble cast of Senthil, Ramya Krishnan and Keerthy, the film is rumoured to be a remake of Akshay Kumar starrer Special 26, even though the makers have rubbished reports.

Unlike his Singam avatar where he sported a handlebar moustache, Suriya will be seen in a clean-shaven look in Thaana Serntha Kootam. Tipped to be a full-length comedy entertainer, it’s after a long gap Suriya has decided to try his hands at comedy and this shift from regular action films might work in his favour.
