Suriya 40 Is 'Etharkkum Thunindhavan'; A Gangster-Like Figure Wielding A Sword

Sun Pictures’ buildup to Suriya 40’s first look was so ingenious that it also revealed the other cast members of the film, including Sathyaraj, Saranya, and Priyankaa Mohan, who is also working on the film ‘Doctor’, an Indian medical action film alongside Sivakarthikeyan.

The title of Suriya 40 is ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’, which is apparently a reference to Sivakumar’s (Suriya’s father) 1976 film ‘Etharkum Thuninthavan.’ On the eve of Suriya’s 46th birthday, the makers of the tentatively titled Suriya 40 unveiled the first-look motion poster and title of the film.

Pandiraj directs ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’, which translates “he’s ready for anything.” D Imman composed the music for this film, and Rathnavelu is in charge of the cinematography.

After ‘Pasanga 2’ and ‘Kadaikutty Singam’, ‘Etharkkum Thunindhavan’ will be Pandiraj’s third collaboration with Suriya. While Suriya played the lead in ‘Pasanga 2’, he also produced and appeared in ‘Kadaikutty Singam’, which starred his brother, Karthi.

This film, which depicts Suriya as a gangster-like figure wielding a sword, is described as a rural entertainer. Suriya, on the other hand, appeared to be in a veshti satte, gripping swords and guns. The sword he used, in particular, was not the typical aruval seen in most rural action dramas. Are there any other hints from the movie that the makers are giving away to the audience?
