Chennai, Nov 7

The regular shooting of Suriya-starrer Tamil actioner "Singam 3" will start from the first week of December.

"We've finally zeroed in on December 2 as the day to take the film to sets. We wanted to start much earlier but things didn't fall in place," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

The third instalment in the highly successful "Singam" franchise will feature Shruti Haasan and Anushka Shetty as Suriya's love interests.

To be produced by 2D Entertainment and directed by Hari, the makers plan to release the film during April 2016.

Meanwhile, Suriya is currently awaiting the release of Tamil thriller "24", which is currently in its post-production phase.
