After 'Ayan', Suriya will act in a movie to be directed by K S Ravikumar. Ravikumar has completed 'Jaggubhai' starring Sarath Kumar and Shriya recently. He is touted to be the director with Midas touch as his 'Dasavatharam' starring Kamal Haasan won him rave reviews and collected huge revenues.

The movie titled as 'Adhavan' will feature Nayantara opposite Suriya. Nayantara was supposed to star with his brother Karthi in 'Paiya', but she pulled out of the project at the last moment.

Earlier, Suriya and Nayantara shared screen space in 'Ghajini' and this will be their first time as the lead pair. The movie will go to the floors on 20 January, 2009.
