Suriya's 'Singam 3' to roll from next week

Actor-producer Suriya's third instalment in the "Singam" franchise will finally go on the floors next week in Vishakhapatnam.

The film, which was originally slated to get rolling in December, had to be postponed on the account of floods in Tamil Nadu.

"We're all set to start shooting from the second week of January. Now that most of the work on my other project '24' is almost over, we can totally focus on 'Singam 3'," Suriya told IANS.

To be directed by Hari, the film also features Shruti Haasan and Anushka Shetty in the lead roles.

Suriya is bankrolling the project under his home banner 2D Entertainment. He currently awaits the release of Tamil thriller "24", which is directed by Vikram Kumar and features Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Nithya Menen in important roles.
