The possibility of a collaboration between filmmaker SS Rajamouli and actor Suriya has once again attracted attention in the South Indian film industry. The topic came up during the pre release event of Fahadh Faasil’s upcoming fantasy entertainer Don’t Trouble The Trouble, where Rajamouli appeared as a special guest and Suriya was also present.
Rajamouli was asked whether audiences could expect him to work with Suriya in the future. The question has been raised several times in the past because both the filmmaker and the actor have spoken positively about each other and have expressed interest in working together.
During the event, Rajamouli acknowledged that he had anticipated the question. However, he explained that the primary purpose of the event was to promote Don’t Trouble The Trouble and that talking extensively about a possible project with Suriya could shift the focus away from Fahadh Faasil’s film.
Rajamouli said that he had come prepared for the question but wanted the attention to remain on the upcoming film. He explained that if he discussed a potential collaboration with Suriya, it could become the main headline of the event while Don’t Trouble The Trouble might receive less attention.
Despite avoiding details about any future project, Rajamouli gave an interesting response about the possibility of working with Suriya. He indicated that whenever the two eventually make a film together, it would be really special. His comments have once again generated interest among fans who have been waiting for a possible collaboration between the two.
However, Rajamouli’s comments should not be treated as an official confirmation of a new film with Suriya. As of September 28, 2026, there has been no formal announcement regarding a Rajamouli Suriya project. The filmmaker’s remarks indicate his positive view of the possibility, but details such as the story, production house, shooting schedule, cast or release date have not been officially announced.
The discussion also comes at a time when Suriya has several projects generating attention. His upcoming film Scene is directed by Jithu Madhavan, who previously directed films such as Romancham and Aavesham. The title teaser for Scene was released earlier in September and introduced Suriya in an unusual character. The film is scheduled as a Diwali release and is expected to be Suriya’s third theatrical release of 2026 after Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons.
Rajamouli also praised Suriya’s recent work during the event. Reports from the programme said the filmmaker acknowledged the actor’s recent successes and spoke positively about his upcoming film Scene. He also referred to the success of Karuppu and Vishwanath and Sons while appreciating Suriya’s recent run of films.
Scene is particularly notable because it brings Suriya together with Jithu Madhavan, the filmmaker behind Aavesham. The title teaser suggests that the film will combine action and comedy with an unconventional setting. Suriya plays Inbaraj, a character presented as unpredictable and eccentric. Nazriya Nazim is the female lead, while actor and filmmaker Lal is also part of the cast. Sushin Shyam is composing the music and background score.
Suriya’s recent film Vishwanath and Sons, directed by Venky Atluri, also performed strongly at the box office according to reports. The film, which also starred Mamitha Baiju, was released in theatres on August 14, 2026. It later began streaming on Netflix in September. Reports said the film crossed Rs 260 crore worldwide after 25 days in theatres.
Meanwhile, Rajamouli is currently associated with Don’t Trouble The Trouble, a fantasy entertainer directed by debutant Shashank Yeleti and starring Fahadh Faasil. Rajamouli is presenting the film, which is scheduled to release worldwide on October 2, 2026, in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam. The film marks Fahadh Faasil’s first outing as a lead actor in Telugu cinema.
Don’t Trouble The Trouble follows Fahadh Faasil as Suri, a magician whose life changes after he encounters a young girl named Divya, played by child actor Ssara Palekar. The story incorporates fantasy elements, humour and emotional themes. Saurabh Sachdeva also plays an important role in the film.
Rajamouli’s presence at the promotional event is significant because he is presenting the film and his son SS Karthikeya is among its producers. The director has been involved with the production through his association with the project, while Shashank Yeleti makes his feature directorial debut with the film.
The repeated discussion about a possible Rajamouli and Suriya collaboration also has a history. Both personalities have previously expressed admiration for each other, while Suriya has spoken about an earlier opportunity to work with Rajamouli that did not materialise. This background has contributed to continued speculation whenever the two appear at the same industry event.
For now, however, the latest development is limited to Rajamouli’s comments at the Don’t Trouble The Trouble event. His statement that a film with Suriya would be really special has renewed interest among fans, but it does not amount to an official project announcement.
If such a collaboration eventually moves forward, further details would be expected to emerge through an official announcement from Rajamouli, Suriya or the production team. Until then, the possibility remains a subject of discussion rather than a confirmed upcoming film.
