Suriya and Karthik Subbaraj are joining forces for the very first time in a movie. The makers have revealed this film as an exciting surprise and are already buzzing with anticipation for this collaboration.

As per Vikatan, Suriya 44 has been exclusively crafted for the talented actor. Before the filming of Jigarthanda DoubleX, Karthik Subbaraj had shared a brief idea of the film with Suriya, who then requested him to expand upon it.

Suriya 44 is expected to be the actor's immediate next project, initially slated to be his 43rd film in collaboration with Sudha Kongara. However, due to prolonged pre-production and the general elections limiting shooting locations, the makers decided to postpone Suriya 43. This opened the slot for Suriya 44 to commence immediately. 

According to the producer Karthikeyan, they put in extra effort to keep the news about this collaboration a secret because such news stories get leaked very easily today, so they decided to be extra careful. They wanted to avoid the news getting leaked easily, as it happens nowadays. As per his interview, the talks between Suriya and Karthik Subbaraj had been taking place for two and a half years. The fact that both Suriya and Karthik were engaged in other projects led to the delay in materializing the film up until now.
