Suriya, Jyotika to back Sai Pallavi's upcoming film 'Gargi'
Tamil actor-producer couple Suriya and Jyotika will be presenting Sai Pallavi's Gargi, announced Suriya on Friday (June 24). Their production house 2D Entertainment will be bankrolling the project. Gargi is billed as a legal drama and is helmed by Gautham Ramachandran, who had debuted in the industry with Richie (2017). Gargi, announced last month, is still awaiting a release date.
Why does this story matter?
Suriya enjoys a tremendous fanbase and his association with Gargi will be a crowd-puller. Previously, 2D Entertainment has produced successful films such as Oh My Dog and Uriyadi 2, and the actor pair is known for backing innovative scripts. Gargi is a much-anticipated film since it will be headlined by Pallavi, who has proved her acting chops in films like Premam and Virata Parvam.
'Gargi' focuses on 'new thoughts and writing'
Suriya took to Twitter to share the announcement. He wrote, "Jo (Jyotika) and I are glad to associate with team #Gargi! Some characters just stay in our minds!" The Jai Bheem actor lauded the film's "new thoughts and writing." Pallavi was quick to express her gratitude and tweeted, "Thank you @Suriya_offl Sir and #Jyotika mam for the kind gesture. This means a lot (sic)."
