Sreeleela to join hands with Soorarai Pottru director Sudha Kongara for Sivakarthikeyan’s Purananooru? Source reveals

As a longtime admirer of Tamil cinema and its captivating narratives, I find myself brimming with anticipation at the prospect of Sreeleela gracing our screens in Purananooru, alongside the charismatic Sivakarthikeyan and the visionary Sudha Kongara. Having followed Sreeleela’s promising journey from her debut in Malayalam cinema to her upcoming foray into Tamil with Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly, I can’t help but feel that this collaboration will be a match made in cinematic heaven!


It appears that Sivakarthikeyan and Sudha Kongara might collaborate for the first time on an upcoming project titled “Purananooru”. According to our trusted sources, it’s possible that Sreeleela will take on the main character in this movie.

The rumors of Sreeleela being a part of the film had surfaced on the internet earlier. As per the comments by the source, the actress will soon share the screen with Sivakarthikeyan with an official announcement to come soon. The source has also added that a photo shoot with the actress was also done recently.

Initially, it was planned that Suriya would take the main role in the movie “Purananooru,” making this the second project for both Suriya and the director following “Soorarai Pottru.” However, an announcement was later made with Dulquer Salmaan, Nazriya Nazim Fahadh, and Vijay Verma as key cast members. Despite this, the release of the film got postponed.

Following Suriya’s collaboration with Karthik Subbaraj on the tentative project known as Suriya 44, there were whispers about Sudha Kongara taking over and casting Sivakarthikeyan as the lead. Now, it appears that Sudha Kongara will be working alongside Sreeleela for this upcoming movie.

It’s worth noting that there are rumors suggesting Lokesh Kanagaraj will play a significant part in the upcoming movie. Nonetheless, neither the film nor its cast have been officially confirmed as of now. This information may become available in the coming days or weeks.

Beyond this, Sreeleela is anticipated to mark her debut in Tamil cinema through Ajith Kumar’s eagerly awaited film titled Good Bad Ugly. This movie is under the guidance of director Adhik Ravichandran and is scheduled for theater release in 2025. At first, there were whispers that she might also perform in Thalapathy Vijay’s The GOAT, but ultimately, she opted out because she wished her Tamil film debut wouldn’t be associated with a dance number.

On the professional side of Sudha Kongara, her latest directorial project was Sarfira, a film featuring Akshay Kumar and Radhika Madan. This movie is actually a remake of Soorarai Pottru, with Paresh Rawal reprising his character from the original.

The movie is based on G.R. Gopinath’s autobiography titled “Simply Fly: A Deccan Odyssey,” and it narrates the story of an individual who endeavors to establish low-fare airlines. Although receiving favorable criticisms, the film underperformed at the cinema.
