Malayalam star Jayaram, best known to the Tamil audience for his work in ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, too joined the cast
Busy Time For Suriya
Suriya, meanwhile, is going through a busy phase on the work front. He will soon be seen in ‘Kanguva’, which marks his first collaboration with ‘Siruthai’ Siva. The period action drama features him in a new avatar, which has already become the talk of the town. It stars Disha Patani as the leading lady and marks her Kollywood/Tamil debut. She was supposed to enter the industry with ‘Sangamithra’ but the film failed to take off. Devi Sri Prasad serves as the director of ‘Kanguva’.
Suriya also has a film with Sudha Kongara in his kitty. The film was announced a while ago but failed to take off. This led to speculation of it being shelved but the ‘Singam’ star soon clarified that it is still on.
