SS Rajamouli is currently in the spotlight for his upcoming film ‘Varanasi,’ but attention has shifted to his reported collaboration with Suriya at the ‘Don’t Trouble The Trouble’ event. The filmmaker attended the event to support Fahadh Faasil’s film, where Suriya was also present. With speculation continuing over a possible Rajamouli-Suriya project, many expected the director to offer some clarity about their plans. Instead, Rajamouli chose to keep the details to himself.
SS Rajamouli refuses to reveal details about Suriya collaboration
SS Rajamouli directly addressed the question about his film with Suriya but made it clear that he did not want to reveal anything that could take attention away from ‘Don’t Trouble The Trouble.’ “I expected this question and came ready with the answer for it. Firstly, we came here to promote the film, ‘Don’t Trouble The Trouble.’ If I talk anything about me and Suriya, that will be the headline. ‘Don’t Trouble The Trouble’ will go into the sidelines,” he said at the event. His response drew attention precisely because he stopped short of confirming the details of their reported collaboration.
SS Rajamouli says Suriya film would be ‘really special’
While SS Rajamouli avoided discussing the story, genre or other details of the project, he did leave fans with a small hint about what such a collaboration could mean. “Whenever we do a film, it is going to be really special,” the filmmaker said. Suriya, who was seated in the front row, appeared to enjoy the exchange as Rajamouli spoke about the much-discussed project. The brief statement was enough to fuel further curiosity among fans waiting for an official announcement from the actor and director.
Suriya and Rajamouli collaboration continues to spark curiosity
The latest comments come after SS Rajamouli has previously spoken warmly about Suriya and his work. During the promotions of ‘Kanguva’ in November 2024, the filmmaker described Suriya as one of his “main inspirations”. He also recalled watching the actor in ‘Ghajini’ and praised the way Suriya had built a reach beyond the Tamil film industry. For now, Rajamouli appears keen to let the speculation continue without revealing too much, while his focus remains on ‘Varanasi,’ starring Mahesh Babu, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. The filmmaker’s carefully worded response has only added another layer of curiosity around a possible Suriya collaboration.
