Tamil actor Suriya tests negative for coronavirus

Actor Suriya, who has tested positive for the coronavirus a couple of weeks ago, has finally tested negative. His close friend and producer Rajsekar Pandian confirmed the news via a tweet.

Rajsekar Pandian tweeted: “ Anna tested NEGATIVE, Thank you for all your prayers and wishes (sic).”

When Suriya tested positive, he wrote on Twitter: “I am undergoing treatment for Covid-19 and am feeling much better now. Let us all realise that life hasn’t returned to normalcy yet. We also cannot be filled with fear and let life come to a standstill. We still need to be careful and safe. Lots of love and gratitude to the dedicated doctors and medical staff standing by my side.”

On the career front, Suriya has multiple projects in his kitty. He was recently seen in Tamil biographical drama, Soorarai Pottru, which skipped theatrical release and premiered on Amazon Prime directly. The film was based on the life of Captain GR Gopinath of Air Deccan.
