Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman will score the music for “Killer,” marking the highly anticipated directorial comeback of renowned Tamil filmmaker and actor S.J. Suryah.
CHENNAI — Renowned composer A.R. Rahman, known for his Academy Award-winning music, has officially joined the team of “Killer,” the eagerly awaited directorial return of celebrated Tamil filmmaker S.J. Suryah. Suryah announced the collaboration on Monday, expressing his excitement and highlighting Rahman’s participation as a significant enhancement to the project.
The filmmaker took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to share photos with the legendary composer, writing: “Yah, it’s none other than our Isai Puyal (musical storm), the musical legend, Indian pride, our one and only @arrahman sir. Sirrrr welcome on board sir. Immensely happy joining you again sir. #Killer”
“Killer” marks S.J. Suryah’s return to directing after finding success in recent years as an actor. Earlier on X, he described the film as his dream project, expressing joy about his return to the director’s chair. “Hi folks, your director S.J. Suryah is back with his dream project titled, yeah you know it — #KILLER. Feeling blessed and happy to collaborate with the prestigious @GokulamMovies and Gokulam Gopalan sir. Need your love and support as always. Love you all,” he posted.
The film is being produced by Sree Gokulam Movies, a noted production house within the Malayalam film industry. It will feature actress Preethi Asrani, known for her acclaimed performance in the Tamil film “Ayothya,” in a lead role.
Industry insiders describe “Killer” as a stylish action-drama about the life of a hitman, incorporating elements of action, comedy, and romance. The story reportedly took shape during the COVID-19 lockdown, written by Suryah himself, adding a personal touch to the project.
While much of “Killer” will be filmed in India, key scenes are planned to be shot in Mexico to enhance its international appeal. The film is intended as a pan-Indian release, aiming to reach a broad audience by being made in five languages.
With A.R. Rahman on board, S.J. Suryah’s return to directing is set to be one of the most anticipated releases on the Indian cinematic scene, according to IANS.
