Suriya visited mosque not to convert, but to pray

Of late, controversy doesn’t seem to spare anyone in Kollywood, not even Suriya, who has always stayed away from the limelight.

Suriya is presently shooting for his next with Vignesh Shivan titled Thana Serndha Koottam.

While the actor is wrapping up the shoot, a video of Suriya visiting a mosque went viral on social media. So much so that some of the people started wondering if the actor had converted to Islam.

According to a reports, the video was shot three years ago in Kadapa, Andhra Pradesh, during the shoot of Singam 2 (2013).

Clarifying the same, a source was quoted by Sify as saying, ” The video was shot during Singam 2 shoot. On AR Rahman’s friendly request, Suriya had visited the mosque in Kadapa. But news on him converting to Islam is baseless.” The video was later taken down from YouTube.

Basking in the stupendous success of his Singam 3, which reportedly grossed Rs 100-crore at the box office, Suriya is also bankrolling his wife and actor Jyothika’s Magalir Mattum Meanwhile, Thana Serndha Koottam starring Keerthi Suresh, Ramya Krishna, Sathyan and Senthil is expected to release later this year.

Produced by Studio Green, the film has music by Anirudh Ravichander.
