Suriya Sports Fu Manchu And Mullet As He Goes Retro For Karthik Subbaraj's 'Suriya 44'

The announcement video starts with Suriya’s character facing back as he sits on a ledge and looks at the sea. There are a couple of suitcases besides him. He then turns and as the camera zooms in, he gives a cynical smile looking at the camera. On a closer look, he gives an intense look. He is seen in a retro look wearing a colourful striped shirt and a pair of trousers. Suriya is seen sporting a fu-manchu-style moustache and mullet.
