Suriya turns 45: Dulquer Salmaan, Rakul Preet Singh, Nivin Pauly wish actor on birthday

Suriya is a multi-faceted talent having worked as an actor, producer and TV presenter for years. Thursday, 23 July, marks his 45th birthday.

Fans started wishing Suriya from Wednesday itself. They posted pictures and video edits on his birthday eve. The deluge of posts led to ‘#HappyBirthdaySuriya’ become one of the top trends on Twitter.

On the occasion, the actor shared a poster on Twitter to launch the song ‘Kaattu Payale’ from his next movie Soorarai Pottru . The film is based on the life of Air Deccan founder Captain GR Gopinath. Jackie Shroff, Karunas, Paresh Rawal and Mohan Babu will also be seen in pivotal roles.

Suriya recently announced another new project Aruvaa with longtime collaborator Hari. Aruvaa is the duo’s sixth film together after Velu, Aaru, Singam, Singam II and  Singam 3  (known as Si3).

The first look of his third upcoming feature Vaadivasal, directed by Vetrimaaran, was also unveiled on his birthday. The Hindu writes that the film is reportedly based on Jallikattu, the traditional bull chasing sport of Tamil Nadu.

Here is the first look of Vaadivasal

Waiting for #Vaadivasal, a solid novel. With @VetriMaaran directing, I'm sure it's going to be a great action drama for @Suriya_offl . FL here.... @theVcreations pic.twitter.com/xeUn1NjPZ1
