Suriya recalls initial project pitched by Venky Atluri
Speaking at the pre-release event in Hyderabad, Suriya said that after Lucky Baskhar, he would have agreed to any script Venky Atluri brought to him, as he had been quietly hoping to work with the director. He revealed that Naga Vamsi had then called him and said that he had secured Venky’s dates. At the time, Venky had a script based on a biopic, but the project did not materialize.
Earlier, in an interview with Galatta Plus, the director had confirmed that he initially narrated a biopic, but the project did not go on floors due to rights issues.
Later, he added that Suriya had told him it had been around 12 to 14 years since he had done a cute love story or a proper family entertainer. After films like Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim, the actor wanted to do something breezy. He also felt that he had already done two biopics recently and believed it might be a sign to move on.
