Anushka opposite Suriya in Singam

Tollywood's latest sensation Anushka will be the heroine in Suriya's next Tamil cop movie Singam to be directed by cinematographer-turned-director Hari, who earlier directed Suriya in Aaru (2005) and Vel (2007). Notably, Singam is Suriya's 25th film the second time Suriya plays a cop onscreen. (His first role of a police officer was in Goutham Menon's Kakka Kakka.) Touted to be an action-packed entertainer mixed with sentiment and comedy, Singam will start rolling at Tirunelveli, Ambasamudram, Kutralam, Karaikudi, Tuticurin, Chennai, Hyderabad and Vizag once Suriya completes his ongoing Aadhavan, directed by K.S. Ravikumar. V.T. Vijayan is the editor. Priyan is the cinematographer. Devi Sri Prasad will score music for the film, which will feature Prakashraj and Vivek in key roles. The film is produced by K.E. Gnanavel (maker of Sillunnu Oru Kaadhal and Paruthiveeran) under the banner of Studio Green. Meanwhile, some unconfirmed reports say that Anushka, the heroine of Tollywood blockbuster Arundhathi, is likely to reprise the same role in its Hindi remake, to be produced by M. Shyam Prasad Reddy.
