Chennai: The trailer of Suriya's upcoming crime comedy ‘Scene’ has offered a glimpse of a different police officer avatar for the actor.
Directed by Jithu Madhavan, the film features Suriya as a police officer who appears least interested in his job and has no plans of returning to the force.
Unveiled by the makers on Saturday, the trailer opens with Suriya's character, DSP Inbaraj, relaxing at home after resigning from the police force. Unlike his popular cop avatar in director Hari's ‘Singam’ franchise, Inbaraj appears laid-back and uninterested in the world around him.
In one of the opening scenes, when Alexa asks him what mood he wants his music to match, he casually replies, "Any mood." He is later seen cooking an omelette and playing with a stress ball as other police officers try to convince him to return to work.
Things take a humorous turn when the officers tell him they have orders to bring him back to the police station. Inbaraj does not resist and is eventually carried out of his house by fellow officers. Even as they take him down the stairs, he continues smoking without appearing bothered.
When his senior officer questions his decision to resign at the peak of his career, Inbaraj says he wants to join politics. The scene has also drawn attention for bringing to mind actor Vijay, who stepped away from films to focus on his political career.
Apart from Suriya, the film stars Nazriya Nazim Fahadh in a lead role. Actors Anandraj, Lal and Raj Priyan are also part of the cast.
‘Scene’ is produced by Jyotika and Suriya under the banner of Zhagaram Studios. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on 6 November 2026, coinciding with Diwali.
