Suriya announced it on Thursday, tweeting, “He is a person who had more belief in me that I did. He made me experience new worlds. 20 years later, with the blessings of my father (Sivakumar), I am embarking on yet another beautiful journey with Bala with the same enthusiasm.”
Director Bala, well known for his offbeat style of cinema, gave Suriya a big break and an image makeover in the 90s with his films. Since then, the filmmaker has gone on to work with many other stars, including Suriya’s wife Jyotika ( Paradesi ). His last outing was Dhruv Vikram’s debut offering Varmaa .
