Suriya’s fans are eagerly waiting for Scene, which is set to hit the screens tomorrow in multiple languages. Many are hoping that the star will score a hat-trick with this film. Directed by Jithu Madhavan, it features Nazriya Fahadh as the female lead. At the film’s Kerala pre-release event, Nazriya spoke about the recent comments on missing out on three films with Suriya.

Speaking at the event, she clarified that she had not rejected the three films. Date clashes and other scheduling issues were the reasons she couldn’t be part of those projects. She also explained why it took her 12 years to act in a Tamil film again. Nazriya said she had been waiting for the right script and is happy to make her return to Tamil cinema with Scene. She also shared her happiness about being the first heroine to work with Jithu Madhavan.

Scene has decent buzz ahead of its release, but the screen crunch due to Ramayana could affect its reach. It remains to be seen whether the film connects with audiences and helps Suriya score a hat-trick.
