Suriya achieves a remarkable hat-trick with 'Scene,' his third consecutive ₹200 crore grosser after 'Vishwanath & Sons' and 'Karuppu.' Directed by Jithu Madhavan, the action-comedy has earned ₹205 crore globally, marking a significant milestone in the Tamil star's illustrious career.
Tamil actor and star Suriya has hit a hat-trick this year with the success of his latest action-comedy, Scene. The Jithu Madhavan film has grossed ₹205 crore at the worldwide box office, according to Zhagaram Studios, the production banner.
The film marked popular Malayalam filmmaker Jithu Madhavan's Tamil debut. Madhavan is known for Malayalam film hits such as Romancham and Aavesham. At the film's recently held audio launch, Suriya spoke about collaborating with Nazriya for the first time.
"Sometimes, I want to work with a good actor. Three times, we asked; she rejected. I think this is the fourth attempt, and now she said okay. It is okay. For 10-12 years, she said no to so many directors and actors, but thank you for finally accepting our film and doing it," he said.
The film follows the life of revered Chennai cop Inbaraj, who wishes to resign and hang up his hat, only to be pulled back into the madhouse when a serial killer terrorises the city.
The film, which featured Nazriya and Naslen, popular names from the Malayalam film industry, has gained critical and commercial acclaim for its eccentric visual and aural sensibilities. The film has music by the popular Malayalam film composer Sushin Shyam, who has worked with Madhavan before.
The success of the film also marks an important milestone in Suriya's career. The actor scored a hat-trick with the film, making it his third title this year, following Vishwanath and Sons and Karuppu, to cross ₹200 crore at the worldwide box office. RJ Balaji's Karuppu went on to collect ₹310.12 at the worldwide gross collections, while Venky Atluri's Vishwanath and Sons grossed ₹209.46.
