Suriya 50: Lokesh Kanagaraj to Direct Landmark Film 'Rolex'

Suriya is preparing for a significant milestone in his career with his 50th film, which is set to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The project, titled 'Rolex', has been in discussions for some time and is now moving closer to reality. Suriya, who recently found renewed acclaim with the success of 'Karuppu', is reportedly eager to make this landmark film a memorable one.

'Rolex' is based on the character Suriya played in a cameo in Kamal Haasan’s 'Vikram', a role that drew an enthusiastic response from audiences. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who confirmed earlier that the film will be made soon, is expected to begin work on 'Rolex' after completing his current commitments, including a film with Allu Arjun. The production house for 'Rolex' has not yet been finalized, but industry sources indicate that Kalaipuli S. Thanu is showing strong interest in producing this high-profile project.

An official announcement regarding the producer and further details is expected once the production house is locked in. Suriya is currently engaged with his 48th film directed by TJ Gnanavel and is in talks for his 49th film with H Vinoth. Earlier this year, there were reports linking Suriya’s 50th film to director Nelson Dilipkumar and Sithara Entertainment, but the latest developments point firmly towards Lokesh Kanagaraj and 'Rolex'.

The anticipation around 'Rolex' is heightened by the positive reception Suriya’s cameo received in 'Vikram', and fans are keenly awaiting more updates as the project progresses.
