Looks like it's a carnival of villains in Suriya's next venture "Maatraan", which is being directed by K V Anand. There are a whopping number of four baddies in the movie, and one among them is none other than Suriya himself.

'Yes, Suriya is doing a role with negative shades in "Maatraan". The other three villains in the movie are Milind Soman, Daniel Balaji and Veera of "Nadunisi Naaygal" fame,' say sources close to the unit.

About 75 per cent of the shoot is over and the rest is expected to be completed by the middle of March. 'Plans are on to release the movie by the last week of April, to cash in on the summer vacation,' sources say further.

Produced by Kalpathi S Aghoram on AGS Entertainment banner, "Maatraan" has Kajal Agarwal as Suriya's heroine. Music is by Harris Jayaraj. A lengthy schedule of the film was recently lapped up in some of the exotic locations of Russia.
