There is no doubt that Suriya is one of the most versatile actors today. Over the past decade, the actor has played some characters that fans now like to call iconic. In the latest update related to the Jai Bhim actor, SS Music hinted that Suriya is all set to make his Bollywood debut with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Karna.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is one of the most famous directors in Bollywood, having directed films like Delhi-6, Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Toofan. The 2006 film Rang De Basanti was also selected as India’s official entry for the Academy Awards.
