Suriya took to his social media handle to reveal he tested positive for the novel coronavirus and requested people to be cautious when they step out. His tweet in Tamil roughly translates to, “I tested positive for COVID-19 and I am on the path of recovery after getting treatment. We should all realise life hasn’t returned to normal. We can’t be consumed by fear, but we should be cautious when we step out. I thank the doctors for their support.”
Last seen in Sudha Kongara’s semi-biographical film Soorarai Pottru – on the life of Captain GR Gopinath of Air Deccan – Suriya has recently wrapped up the upcoming Netflix original film, Navarasa. Suriya’s segment in the film has been directed by Gautham Menon and it marks their reunion after a decade.
He has also teamed up with director Pandiraj for a project currently dubbed Suriya 40. As per reliable sources, Suriya 40 will go on the floors soon and is being bankrolled by Sun Pictures.
Meanwhile, Suriya has a film with Vetrimaaran in his kitty. His film with Vetrimaaran is based on the novel Vaadivasal. Written by CS Chellapa, the film will be the story about a bull and the one who captures it. The film will unfold against the backdrop of jallikattu. Vaadivasal will be produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu, who had bankrolled Vetrimaaran’s last film Asuran, starring Dhanush.
