S J Suryah returns to direction with 'Killer'!

Actor-director S J Suryah announces his comeback as director with multilingual thriller 'Killer', produced by Gokulam Movies.

"Hi folks, your director S.J.Suryah is back with His dream project titled, yeah you know it #KILLER. – S J Suryah"

Chennai, June 27

Well known Tamil film director and actor S J Suryah, who has been riding a success wave as an actor in recent times, on Friday announced his return to direction, saying that he was to next direct his dream project titled 'Killer'.

Taking to his X timeline, S J Suryah wrote, "Hi folks , your director S.J.Suryah is back with His dream project titled, yeah you know it #KILLER. Feeling blessed and happy to collaborate with the most prestigious @GokulamMovies Gokulam Gopalan sir. Need your love and support as always. Love you all. SJS @GokulamGopalan #VCPraveen #BaijuGopalan #Krishnamoorthy@GokulamMovies #Mr&Mrs Maruthappapandian selvi @Kirubakaran_AKR #Killer #KILLERTHEMOVIE #SJSuryah #GokulamGopalan And the killer girl @PreethiOffl"

Interestingly, S J Suryah said that Preethi Asrani, the Marathi actress whose work in the critically acclaimed Tamil film 'Ayothya' came in for much appreciation, would be a part of the film.

The film officially went on floors on Friday with a traditional pooja ceremony.

Sree Gokulam Movies, the popular prouduction house from the Malayalam film industry, took to its X timeline to put out an announcement that confirmed the development.

Sree Gokulam Movies wrote, "@GokulamMovies proudly joins hands with @iam_SJSuryah for his next directorial – #KILLERTHEMOVIE. A powerful pan-Indian film in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi. @GokulamGopalan Mr&Mrs #Maruthappapandianselvi #VCPraveen #BaijuGopalan #Krishnamoorthy @Kirubakaran_AKR."

It may be recalled that S J Suryah first made his mark in the film industry as a director before going on to become an actor. His films such as Valee, with Ajith Kumar in the lead, and Kushi, with Vijay in the lead, had gone on to emerge as superhits.

Sources in the industry claim that Killer, the story of which S J Suryah penned during the lockdown, will revolve around a hitman. Sources also add that the film will be an engaging entertainer that will have an adequate amount of action, comedy and romance.

They also claim that while a major portion of the film is to be shot in the country, some parts of it are to be shot in Mexico.

Killer, which is to be made in five languages, will seek to be a pan-Indian film and try to appeal to audiences across the country.

Finally! SJS is back to direction after all these years. His films like Kushi had such unique style. Hope Killer brings back that magic. The pan-Indian approach is interesting but hope it doesn't lose the Tamil flavor. 🤞

Shooting in Mexico? That's unexpected! SJS always thinks out of the box. But I'm more excited about Preethi Asrani's casting - she was brilliant in Ayothi. Hope she gets a meaty role.

Not sure about the 5-language release strategy. Many recent pan-India films flopped because they tried to please everyone. SJS should focus on making a solid Tamil film first, then think about other versions.

Gokulam Movies + SJS = 🔥 combination! Malayalam-Tamil collaborations have given us some gems recently. Hope this continues the trend. The title 'Killer' sounds mass but hope the content is classy too!

SJS as actor has been killing it in negative roles recently. Now returning to direction after this phase might bring fresh perspective. The hitman storyline sounds promising if executed well. Fingers crossed!

As a 90s kid, Valee was my favorite! SJS's direction had such energy. Hope he brings back that madness but with today's technical finesse. The Mexico angle seems gimmicky though - hope there's proper justification in story.
