Actor Suriya had acted in two movies this year - the Selvaraghavan directed political entertainer NGK and the action thriller Kaappaan directed by KV Anand. After these two movies this year, Suriya's first release of 2020 will be Soorarai Pottru directed by Sudha Kongara.

Suriya's 39th movie was supposed to be directed by Siva after Viswasam, but as the director has been signed to direct Superstar Rajnikanth's Thalaivar 168, the project has been postponed. Now it has been said that Suriya 39 will be directed by director Hari.

While an official announcement on this project is expected soon, the latest update making rounds is that music director D Imman who was signed to work in Siva's movie with Suriya might be retained in Hari's movie. If this combination works out and is made official, this will be the first movie of D Imman with Hari, who has previously worked with Yuvan Shankar Raja, Devi Sri Prasad, Harris Jayaraj and Bharadwaj.
