Chandrababu meet Revenue union over Tahsildar Attack

Suriya, who became a household name in Telugu with the 2008 hit Ghajini, faced a rough patch with flops like Kanguva and Retro. Telugu fans’ excitement waned for a while, but the actor is now making a bold comeback, targeting three industries simultaneously: Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. One arrow, three targets.

For his 2026 slate, Suriya has teamed up with three different directors. In Tamil, he’s joining forces with RJ Balaji for his 45th film—a project aimed at winning back the mass audience with his trademark charm.

In Telugu, his 46th film will be directed by Venky Atluri, known for capturing the local sensibilities. The story is deeply rooted in Telugu culture, giving fans a strong sense of ownership and excitement for this Suriya film.

In Malayalam, his 47th project is with Jithu Madhavan, a director with recent hits in Kerala. Malayalam cinema is celebrated for its diversity, and Suriya’s versatile acting is expected to elevate this film even further.

Rather than chasing big-budget Bollywood or action extravaganzas, Suriya is taking a strategic approach—collaborating with local directors, embracing regional flavors, and making a strong impact across three industries in a single year. This calculated move could very well put him back at the top of the box office game.
