Suriya45 has become one of the most anticipated projects in South Indian cinema, primarily because it marks the first collaboration between actor Suriya and director RJ Balaji. The film has already generated significant excitement, as Balaji has a fanbase of his own, and Suriya's involvement ensures that the movie will be a major box office draw. The pairing of these two talents promised to deliver a unique film to the audience.

However, in a surprising development, AR Rahman, who was originally onboard to score the music for the film, has now exited the project. This move came as a shock to fans and industry insiders, especially since Balaji had confirmed Rahman’s involvement in earlier interviews. Replacing Rahman, young composer Sai Abhyankkar, known for his work on Katchi Sera, has been brought in to compose the film’s soundtrack. This marks Abhyankkar's second major project, the first being Benz with Raghava Lawrence, which is also currently in production.

Abhyankkar, who has already garnered a significant fanbase through his private songs, is seen as a rising talent in the music industry, and his inclusion in Suriya45 has raised expectations for the film's soundtrack. This unexpected change has only added to the intrigue surrounding the project.

Meanwhile, Suriya’s next film, directed by Karthik Subbaraj, is a romantic drama featuring Pooja Hegde as the female lead, which is also generating considerable interest in the industry.
