The buzz in the Kollywood film industry is that the star hero Suriya is getting ready to sign a Rs.250 crore budget film as his next project.

The Tamil Film industry lacks behind the Tollywood in big budget movie makings. The recent film Baahubali is the highest budget film till date in the Indian Film Industry. The gossips that revolve around is that the upcoming and ongoing shooting movie Robo sequel 2.0 might cross the Baahubaki making a budget. The 2.0 movie is expected to have a making budget of Rs.350 crores. Now, the Tamil film industry is planning to launch one more heavy budget film with Suriya as the hero.

Till now, though the Tamil film industry is the oldest and bigger than the Telugu film industry. But the heavy budget Telugu films dominate Tamil industry. Director Shankar has crossed the Baahubali budget with the Robo sequel. Now hero Suriya will act in the huge budget film under the banner of Thendral Films as their 100th film. The film is directed by Sundar C Kumar. He has the credit of directing the hit movie “Something Something”.

The heavy budget films are mainly based on the abroad collections. The Telugu films have a strong base in the USA. Tamil movies have a strong base of box office collections in the countries like Malaysia, China, UK, Australia and other Nations. But the trend has changed with the recent Tamil movies like 24 and Theri. Even the USA box office collections have given a positive hint of growth.
