In October last year, Suriya and Sudha Kongara Prasad announced their reunion after Soorarai Pottru (2020). Having revealed only one part of the title, Puranaanooru, the makers also announced that the film will feature Dulquer Salmaan, Nazriya Nazim and Vijay Varma. While the film’s production is yet to begin, actor Suriya took to social media to clarify that the film will go on floors shortly. This project marks GV Prakash Kumar's 100th film as a composer. Jointly produced by 2D Entertainment and Meenakshi Cinemas, the film is expected to be a powerful narrative about guns and revolution.
