Suriya's recent work

Suriya, who began his career with the 1997 film Nerrukku Ner, had only a few film releases after Etharkkum Thunindhavan in 2022. He had cameos in Kamal Haasan’s Vikram, R Madhavan’s Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, and Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira. In 2024, he played a dual role in Kanguva as the titular warrior and a bounty hunter, Francis Theodore. The film performed poorly critically and made only ₹106.25 crore worldwide on a ₹350-crore budget.

This year, he starred in Karthik Subbaraj’s Retro. The film was critically well-received, and it made ₹96.97 crore worldwide. Suriya is now shooting for RJ Balaji’s Karuppu, which will show him in two different avatars and a yet-to-be-titled film by Venky Atluri, which will mark his Telugu debut.
