Suriya is set to bring a very different cop character to the screen with Scene, his upcoming collaboration with Aavesham and Romancham director Jithu Madhavan. The makers officially unveiled the title with a teaser on Wednesday, September 9, while also confirming that the film will arrive in theatres worldwide on November 6, ahead of the Diwali weekend.
The film, which has been referred to as Suriya 47 during production, marks Jithu Madhavan’s first Tamil directorial. The title teaser offers a glimpse into the world of Suriya’s character, DSP Inbaraj, a police officer whose methods and temperament appear to put him at odds with those around him.
Inbaraj is portrayed as a rebellious and intimidating figure who has earned the displeasure of his colleagues. The teaser also hints at his unusual relationship with prisoners, several of whom appear to have landed behind bars because of his actions. The glimpses suggest that Jithu is bringing the irreverent humour and eccentric characters associated with his Malayalam films into a distinctly Tamil setting.
A new Tamil outing for Jithu Madhavan
Scene brings together an interesting combination of talent from the Tamil and Malayalam film industries. Jithu Madhavan made his feature directorial debut with Romancham in 2023 before following it up with the highly successful Aavesham in 2024. Both films were noted for their distinctive humour, memorable characters and energetic storytelling.
The filmmaker has previously described his Suriya project as a proper Tamil film, making Scene an important new chapter in his career. The film also marks the Tamil debut of actor Naslen, who has emerged as one of the most recognisable young performers in Malayalam cinema following films such as Premalu.
Nazriya Nazim, meanwhile, returns to Tamil cinema after more than a decade. Her last Tamil feature was Thirumanam Enum Nikkah, released in 2014. Her pairing with Suriya and the presence of Naslen add another layer of interest to the project.
An ensemble cast and Sushin Shyam’s music
Scene also features Anandraj, Lal and social media personality Raj Priyan, who makes his feature film debut. The supporting cast further expands the film’s ensemble, although the makers have kept several details about the characters under wraps.
Jithu has once again collaborated with composer Sushin Shyam, who has scored all of the director’s feature films so far. Scene marks Sushin’s first Tamil film as a composer. The technical crew includes cinematographer Vineeth Augustian, editor Ajmal Sabu, production designer Ashwini Kale and action director Chethan D’Souza. Dravid Selvam, known for Idhayam Murali, has penned the Tamil dialogues.
Production on Scene began in December 2025 and was completed in July 2026, with portions of the film shot in both Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Suriya is also producing the project along with Jyothika under their Zhagaram Studios banner, with Jaishree Damodaran serving as co-producer. The film is now in post-production ahead of its November release. Netflix has acquired its digital streaming rights, while Sony Music has secured the music rights.
With Scene scheduled to arrive on November 6, Suriya will headline a film that brings together one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars with a filmmaker who has quickly established a distinct voice in Malayalam cinema. The title teaser’s glimpse of DSP Inbaraj suggests that their collaboration could offer Suriya a particularly unconventional addition to his filmography.
