Suriya’s Singam 3 finally gets a release date, makers vying for a ‘U’ certificate

One of the factors that reportedly influenced the filmmakers to postpone the release was the censor board formalities. According to reports, the censor board has awarded the film with a ‘U/A’ certificate. The makers have approached the board’s revising committee seeking a clean ‘U’ certificate, which would make the film eligible to receive the tax exemption in Tamil Nadu.

Another reason was the trail of destruction left behind by cyclone Vardha that had recently thrown the Chennai city into darkness. Adding to the cash woes of people, the cyclone has badly hit the telecom and internet services, making ATM machines and PoS swipe machines useless.

Singam 3 is the third instalment in the super cop series, created by director Hari. The expectations from the film are already high compared to its prequels.

The film has music from Harris Jayaraj, who has composed several memorable songs for Suriya’s films in the past. After finishing Singam 3, director Hari will helm the sequel to his 2003 blockbuster Saamy, with Vikram and Trisha in the lead roles.
