Tamil superstar Suriya’s upcoming film ‘‘Scene’’ will release on November 6 for Diwali. It will clash with Namit Malhotra’s Ramayana, reportedly made on a budget of over Rs 4,000 crore.
After two back-to-back hits, Suriya is gearing up for his third release of the year. His 47th film, now titled ‘Scene’, sees him as a quirky cop, DSP Inbaraj. The Singam actor took to X to announce the release date and share the first teaser.
Jithu Madhavan directs the film, while both Suriya and his wife Jyothika produce it. This is Jithu’s return to a directorial role after the superhit Malayalam film Aavesham. Previously, he had written for the movie Balan: The Boy.
The music and background score will be handled by Jithu’s longtime collaborator Sushin Shyam, making is his first Tamil project.
‘Scene’ also marks Nazriya’s return to the Tamil industry after 12 years. Her last Tamil release was ‘Thirumanam Enum Nikkah’, with Jai. Malayalam actor Naslen is also reported to play an important role.
For Suriya, this year has been phenomenal; his first release of the year, ‘Karuppu’, directed by RJ Balaji, did well at the box office, despite mixed reviews.
Surya’s last release, ‘Vishwanath and Sons’, was also a hit. It is now gearing up for its OTT release on September 11.
With the release scheduled on Diwali, ‘Scene’ will clash with ‘Ramayana’, directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The two-part film stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram.
Sandalwood actor Yash plays Ravana, and Sai Pallavi embodies Maa Sita. The film will be released on November 8, on Diwali weekend, giving Suriya’s film a two-day head start. Its international release is on November 6.
With two big films going head to head, Diwali is sure to be a high-stakes box office clash.
