Actor Suriya, along with director Venky Atluri and his team, on Thursday offered prayers at the world renowned Palani Murugan temple, ahead of the film's shooting which is to begin on June 9.

Sources close to the unit of the film, which is being tentatively referred to as #Suriya46, said the team visited the Palani Murugan Temple to seek divine strength before taking their first major step.

It may be recalled that director Venky Atluri's upcoming film with actor Suriya, officially got launched with a pooja ceremony on May 19 this year. The film officially went on floors with ace director Trivikram delivering the first clap.
