During a recent fans meet, Suriya confirmed that director Lokesh Kanagraj narrated to him the script of Rolex as a standalone film which he liked. He reportedly confirmed that the movie will happen soon once he is done with his current commitments.## Meanwhile, the actor also updated his fans about his upcoming blockbuster, highly-anticipated Pan India movie "Kanguva" and said that it has come out 100 times better than what the team had expected before shooting. He also confirmed that his next movie will start shooting in October this year while the long-awaited "Vaadivaasal" will start once director Vetrimaaran completes "Viduthalai Part - 2". ## "Rolex" will start before "Irumbu Kai Maayavi", a superhero project which has been in discussion for a long time between Suriya and Lokesh Kanagaraj.
