Nazriya Nazim: ‘How will I reject a Suriya sir film?’ Actress clarifies why she missed three offers

Actress Nazriya Nazim has clarified that her absence from three films directed by Suriya was due to scheduling conflicts and misunderstandings, not a lack of interest in working with the Tamil actor. The clarification comes as the crime thriller "Scene" premieres in theaters across India on Friday, marking Nazriya's Tamil film debut and her first collaboration with Suriya.

Nazriya played the lead role of Maaya, an officer working alongside Suriya's character DSP Inbaraaj to solve a murder case. She expressed pride in being the first female lead in a film directed by Malayalam filmmaker Jithu Madhavan, who co-wrote and directed "Scene." Nazriya praised the Malayali cast and crew, noting that the shoot was like a vacation as everyone was from Kerala.

The trailer of "Scene" introduces the antagonist, Eeshwaran, played by Naslen, in the role of a cold and ruthless villain. The film is set for release on November 6 and has sparked online discussions due to Nazriya's recent appearance with Suriya in Dubai, which led to trolling and debate over moral policing.
