Two years ago, director Siva was signed on for a project to be headlined by Suriya and produced by Studio Green Productions. However, the director never began work on it and instead shifted amicably to work on Rajinikanth's Annaatthe. 

Since Annaatthe is currently not being shot due to Rajini's ill health and the COVID-19 outbreak on the sets, Siva is said to have shifted focus back to this Suriya project again. Reportedly, the director has begun pre-production work for this movie.

It is worth mentioning here that Suriya is scheduled to begin Suriya 40, his film with director Pandiraj next and also has Vaadivaasal in the pipeline.
