    After much anticipation, Suriya and RJ Balaji’s most ambitious film, tentatively titled Suriya 45, has officially kick-started with a puja ceremony. The event took place at Masaniamman Temple near Pollachi. Insider pictures showcased actor Suriya sporting an mustard yellow shirt with a veshti, arriving at the formal event attended by only the close crew members associated with the film. Filmmaker RJ Balaji was also seen alongside the actor at the ceremony.

    Although other crew members were present alongside Suriya, Trisha was not spotted with the team and is expected to join them very soon.

    Touted as the maiden directorial collaboration between Suriya and comedian-turned-filmmaker RJ Balaji, the upcoming film is set to begin its production work very soon.

    Reports suggest that Trisha will be reuniting with her Maunam Pesiyadhe co-star Suriya after more than a decade. For the unversed, Trisha and Suriya have previously worked together as a pair in Aaru and Mounam Pesiyadhe, and as co-stars in Mani Ratnam's Aayutha Ezhuthu, though not as an on-screen couple. Additionally, they appeared together in the song Oyyale from Kamal Haasan and Trisha's film Manmadhan Ambu, where Suriya made a cameo appearance.

Vishnu is popularly known for handling the camera for blockbuster films such as Bigil, Mersal, and Jawan and is often praised for his exceptional skills in elevating scenes with his visuals. With this talented technician on board, the excitement surrounding the film is palpable.
