Before Venkat Prabhu decided to do 'Biriyani' with Karthi Sivakumar, buzz was that the 'Mankatha' director's next would be with Suriya and it would be a 3D venture using some latest technologies.

However, things took a sudden turn and the filmmaker is now on the verge of kick starting 'Biriyani'. Explaining the reason, he says, "Since Suriya is currently busy, I am starting this venture with Karthi."

"I will start my film with Suriya after he completes projects such as Maatraan and Singam 2. I am fine tuning the script and an official announcement will be made soon," he further says.

Giving details about 'Biriyani', Venkat Prabhu says, "It will be a mix of everything- action, humor and romance. To put it in other words, it will be a delicious biriyani with all necessary ingredients."
