After a gap of one year with Sillunu Oru Kadhal being his last, actor Suriya is busy wrapping up the shoot for his Vel. The movie features Suriya in a dual role and acting opposite him is Asin, who plays a radio jockey. A major portion of the movie was shot in a village near Tirunelveli.

Speaking on the movie, Suriya says, “We have highlighted the need for the joint family system that is on the decline today. Our culture and values are lost due to the emergence of nuclear families”.

Vel will hit the screens for Diwali. Meanwhile, the shooting for Suriya's Varanam Aayiram, directed by Goutham Vasudeva Menon, will resume after the actor completes Vel.
