Suriya and Ravikumar's sci-fi venture to start shooting in 2024?
What's the story
Suriya has signed a sci-fi film with Ravikumar but the film will hit the floors only in 2024, said reports. That is because the pre-production of the project will take no less than a year. Reportedly set in the year 2070, the futuristic film has not received any title yet. To note, this is the first collaboration between Suriya and the filmmaker.

Why does this story matter?
Both Ravikumar's debut directorial Indru Netru Naalai and his next one Ayalaan are sci-fi ventures. While Indru Netru Naalai (meaning today, yesterday, tomorrow) had released in 2015 and became a blockbuster, Ayalaan, which means alien is yet to get premiered. And, Suriya is known for his detailed storytelling in his films. So when these two forces join hands, it's bound to be promising.
