Suriya and director Chandoo Mondeti have discussed working together on a film, with Mondeti confirming that the project is still a possibility. After the success of his spiritual thriller Karthikeya 2, Chandoo Mondeti had approached the Tamil superstar with a script, and both parties showed interest in collaborating.

Following Karthikeya 2, Chandoo Mondeti shifted his focus to Thandel, which stars Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi. This project became his next major venture, further cementing his reputation for choosing diverse stories.

With both Suriya and Chandoo Mondeti expressing interest, fans continue to watch for updates on their potential collaboration.
