Suriya to play Gemini Ganesan in Savitri biopic?

The internet is abuzz with reports that Suriya will be playing a brief but important role in the upcoming biopic on Nadigaiyar Thilagam Savithri, which is planned to be made as a bilingual in Tamil and Telugu. Reports in a section of media suggested that Suriya will play the role of Gemini Ganesan in the movie.

However, a source close to Hindustan Times has refuted them as baseless rumors. “Suriya is not approached for the project yet and none from the team of Savitri has spoken to the actor regarding this role.”

The movie directed by Nag Ashwin is titled Mahanati in Telugu. Keerthy Suresh will play the titular role of Savithri and Samantha Ruth Prabhu plays a pivotal character, around whom the entire story revolves.

Suriya is currently busy shooting for director Vignesh Shivan’s ‘Thaanaa Serndha Koottam’, which has entered the final phase. Based on the Hindi super hit Special 26, TSK features Keerthy Suresh as the leading lady.
