Suriya appears to be nearing a critical juncture of his film career with a slew of his projects. The actor is choosy in his roles, and that is the reason he has been messing with varied genres as well as voices. Still, adoring fans are awaiting any updates on his proposed projects and the to-be-announced projects. However, industry insiders have already claimed that Suriya’s 50th film is going to be epic. There's been buzz around Suriya’s landmark film recently, that’s where the collaboration is likely to be the better one of all.
Suriya–Mari Selvaraj team-up in talks
According to Cinema Express, Suriya is in talks with director
Mari Selvaraj to work together on a film, which would be Suriya's 50th movie. If it materializes, it will be their first collaboration, with an actor having a larger-than-life image and a director down-to-earth, with a lot of pride for his native place.

This announcement is made at a moment when 'Vaadivaasal', Suriya's eagerly anticipated film with
Vetri Maaran, has been postponed. Vetri Maaran has begun working on 'Arasan', a 'Vada Chennai' universe film.
By the way, during the time interval, the Mari Selvaraj project has become one of the strongest and most promising projects for Suriya's 50th film.
A busy lineup for both actor and director
Even with negotiations under way, Suriya didn’t get even a moment's rest. The eagerly anticipated 'Karuppu', directed by RJ Balaji, where he is said to appear in a completely different role altogether. The 46th movie directed by Venky Atluri and beyond that, a project by 'Aavesham' director Jithu Madhavan. As for the 48th and 49th movies, it is anyone’s guess.
Meanwhile, Mari Selvaraj has the Dhanush and AR Rahman films alongside another venture with Inban Udhayanidhi on his plate. Nevertheless, the murmurs about a Suriya-Mari Selvaraj project are the most exciting announcement amid the plethora of new movies in Tamil cinema.
