Guneet Monga forays into south with Suriya's next Tamil film

Film producer Guneet Monga, who backed Oscar-winning short documentary "Period. End of Sentence", is making inroads into the southern Indian film market with Suriya's next yet-untitled Tamil outing.

On Monday, Monga took to Twitter to announce her association with Suriya's 2D Entertainment on his next project with director Sudha Kongara.

"Our first Tamil film producing with Aalif Surti, Sriram, Achin Jain and Sikhya Entertainment. Very excited for this. Directed by rockstar woman Sudha Kongara (sic)," she tweeted.

Currently dubbed as Suriya 38, the film will be co-produced by Monga along with 2D Entertainment.

Suriya is busy wrapping up K.V. Anand's Tamil action thriller "Kaappaan", in which he plays a bodyguard to Prime Minister, being essayed by Malayalam superstar Mohanlal.

Suriya 38 will most likely go on the floors in last week of March or April.

G.V. Prakash Kumar has been roped in to compose music for the project, which will mark the maiden collaboration between Suriya and Sudha.
