A Tamil superstar, Suriya is remembered for his-transformational roles and extensive performances and has fantasized over a pan-Indian impact for quite a while now. Seeking to work with a filmmaker from Bollywood and go pan-Indian, Suriya moved his family, including wife Jyothika and the two children, to Mumbai. In keeping up such a hectic lifestyle in the city, people were left to wonder about his Bollywood debut. However, even as he geared up for his pan-Indian release Kanguva, which didn’t really connect with the North Indian crowds, Suriya gets reenthusiastic about finding just the right project that can fill this gap.
Among the bolder plans he had were Karna, a mythological epic directed by renowned filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra. Tentatively taken from Mahabharata, the project was designed to cast Suriya in the titular role of Karna, one who was famous for his heroism and valor. Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor was in discussions to play Draupadi, adding further allure to the film. Designed as a two-part cinematic experience, the project aimed to be a benchmark in Indian cinema, with a timeline spanning five years for completion.
However, despite the grand vision, Karna ran into significant financial roadblocks. Excel Entertainment, initially committed to producing the high-budget venture, withdrew after extensive discussions failed to align the budget with the film’s ambitious scale. Despite relentless efforts to rework the financial plan, the project could not move forward, leading to its shelving.
The setback has delayed Suriya’s long-awaited Bollywood debut, leaving his fans disappointed. However, the actor remains undeterred in his quest to explore pan-Indian cinema. Suriya’s unwavering dedication to expanding his cinematic horizons assures audiences that his journey toward making a mark in Bollywood and beyond is far from over.
With his versatility and passion, Suriya’s next move is certain to keep fans and the industry eagerly watching. For now, his Bollywood dream is on hold, but his resolve to achieve a pan-Indian breakthrough remains stronger than ever.
