#Suriya46 Takes Off: Venky Atluri and Suriya Begin Shooting for an Exciting Tamil-Telugu Spectacle

The cameras have officially started rolling for one of the most awaited films of the year — #Suriya46, a bilingual project written and directed by Venky Atluri, featuring the versatile Suriya in the lead role. Launched recently with a traditional pooja ceremony in Hyderabad, the film marks Production No. 33 for Sithara Entertainments and promises a blend of star power and solid storytelling.
Unveiling a powerful poster showing Suriya in a stylish back profile, the makers declared, “And the Celebration Begins,” capturing the buzz and excitement the project has already ignited across Tamil and Telugu audiences.
Having built a remarkable legacy with his powerful performances, Suriya is all set to enthrall fans in both languages with this high-stakes venture. His popularity, especially among Telugu viewers, adds to the anticipation as this film looks to be another feather in his already illustrious cap.
Venky Atluri, who has carved a niche with emotional yet commercial hits like Sir/Vaathi and the upcoming Lucky Baskhar, steps into the director’s chair once again. His ability to mix mass appeal with meaningful narratives makes this collaboration one to watch.
Adding to the film’s charm is a stellar cast — Mamitha Baiju, who rose to fame with Premalu, stars as the female lead. The film also features Raveena Tandon, making a notable comeback to Telugu cinema, and Radhika Sarathkumar in a pivotal role.
On the music front, GV Prakash Kumar, known for his memorable scores in Vaathi/Sir and Lucky Baskhar, reunites with Venky Atluri to deliver another musical gem. Behind the lens is acclaimed cinematographer Nimish Ravi, with National Award-winning editor Navin Nooli on board to shape the film’s visual and emotional rhythm. Banglan handles the production design, ensuring the film’s aesthetic is equally captivating.
S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya are bankrolling the project under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, with Srikara Studios presenting. The film is eyeing a grand Summer 2026 release.
