Lingusamy wrote two scripts after ‘Bheema’ and then zeroed on to ‘Paiya’. It is the story of a young man and woman, who are on a journey from Bangalore to Mumbai in a car. The film is almost shot entirely in a car. Karthi plays a software engineer who doesn’t have a job. So, Lingusamy has explored the pleasant and handsome side of Karthi and that's what we will get to see in Paiya!

A special screening of the rush-shots of ‘Paiya’ was arranged recently by the director, intended for Suriya. After the seeing those scenes Suriya got impressed and praised the director for his work. He also said that ‘Paiya’ was too good than the blockbuster ‘Run’.

Sources further add that, the actor continued to ask if Lingusamy can give him a fresh story like ‘Paiya’. Interestingly the director narrated the outline of a script for half-an-hour on the spot. What’s more? The actor was also enthused with Lingusamy’s script.

What a chance? Suriya has asked Lingusamy to meet him after preparing the entire script, and has decided to act in this script if it turns out convincing. So, this is what we say "Throw a lucky man in the sea, and he will come up with a fish in his mouth."
