’கொரோனா’ பாதிப்பு ஏற்பட்டு, சிகிச்சை பெற்று நலமுடன் இருக்கிறேன். வாழ்க்கை இன்னும் இயல்பு நிலைக்கு திரும்பவில்லை என்பதை அனைவரும் உணர்வோம். அச்சத்துடன் முடங்கிவிட முடியாது. அதேநேரம் பாதுகாப்பும், கவனமும் அவசியம். அர்ப்பணிப்புடன் துணைநிற்கும் மருத்துவர்களுக்கு அன்பும், நன்றிகளும்.

Separately, on the work front, Suriya recently wrapped up the shooting of Netflix's upcoming anthology, Navarasa. Suriya's episode in Navarasa is based on a popular song by Ilaiyaraaja, as per reports. Directed by Gautham Menon, this project will mark the reunion of the actor-director duo after many years. They have previously worked together on films such as Kaakha Kaakha and Vaaranam Aayiram.
For the unversed, Suriya was last seen in Soorarai Pottru, which skipped theatrical release due to the coronavirus pandemic and premiered on the streaming platform Amazon Prime Video. The movie was based on the life of Captain GR Gopinath of Air Deccan. Some other notable movies of the actor include Nandha, Ghajini, Ayan, Singam, and 24.
The COVID-19 pandemic not only affected the film business but also impacted the lives of many celebrities.
