S.J. Suryah is back to what he does best after a gap of three years. The controversial director is all set to start his pet project, Puli, in Telugu. He has also roped in National Award-winning cameraman Binodh Pradhan, who has acclaimed films like Rang De Basanti, Devdas and Mission Kashmir to his credit. Puli stars ‘Power Star’ Pawan Kalyan in the lead and is produced by Kanakarathna Movies which has earlier given hit films like Dhil and Pokiri. The heroine is yet to be finalized. Music for the film is by Suryah’s favourite composer ‘Isai Puyal’ A.R. Rahman. The duo has earlier come with some wonderful tunes in New and Anbe Aaruyirae. “The film will be first made in Telugu. Later, I’ll be remaking the film in Tamil with myself as hero,” says S.J. Suryah, who is currently in Mumbai, reportedly on a hunt for his female lead. S.J. Suryah had earlier narrated Puli to Vijay. But the project did not take off due to creative differences between the two. Currently, Suryah is paired as hero opposite Shirin in Vil, directed by debutant Prabhakar.
