Suriya unveils first poster of upcoming film Jai Bhim on 46th birthday

As Tamil superstar Suriya Sivakumar celebrates his 46th birthday, the actor took to Twitter to unveil the title and first look of his upcoming film, which was tentatively called Suriya 39. 

The movie is titled ‘Jai Bhim’, which is a greeting used by the followers of Ambedkarism. 

The actor will be playing a lawyer who fights for the justice of a socially marginalised community.
