Tamil actor Suriya is running in a lean phase and his Telugu market reached an all-time low. His recent offering Bandobast is a huge dud and the actor is in plans to regain the market. Though several Telugu filmmakers wished to work with Suriya, none of the projects got materialized. Veteran actor Mohan Babu chaired a meeting recently this week and Suriya attended it in Mohan Babu’s residence.

Writer and director BVS Ravi narrated a script to Suriya and the actor responded positively. A couple of meetings are planned after which Suriya will take the final call. If this happens, BVS Ravi will direct the movie and this will be the first straight Telugu film for Suriya. Writer Gopi Mohan too worked on the script. It is still unclear if Mohan Babu will bankroll this project if things go as per the plan. Suriya as of now is busy with the shoot of Soorarai Pottru in the direction of Sudha Kongara.

South Indian Heroes typically fall for the commercial movie trap which limits them in the way roles should be chosen. Though some heroes try to be different with debut flicks but later fall into the crutches of commercial cinema. But there are some gifted heroes who balance commercial-style along with amazing performance histrionics. One such hero is Suriya who has been ruling the roost in Tamil and Telugu film industry for a long time now.

Born to seasoned Tamil actor Sivakumar, Suriya has proven his mettle to be a unique actor of his own accord. He was first noticed by Telugu audience with his lively performance in Vikram’s Shivaputrudu directed by Bala. But his most striking performance as the young political activist Michael in Mani Ratnam’s Yuva back in 2004. The intensity of his eyes and body language was instantly identified by the Telugu audience and his role became the highlight of the flick. Right from then, Suriya has been consistently making interesting flicks which are a blend of commercial-style blended with peculiar characterizations.

A.R.Muragadoss dared to show Suriya in Ghajini as a memory loss patient at his heights of stardom. This film was a great hit not just in the Tamil original but also in Telugu. Even Bollywood actor Aamir Khan was greatly impressed by Suriya’s performance and remade the film in Hindi! Whether it is as Bodhi Dharma in Seventh Sense, as a scientist in 24, or in RGV’s intense film Raktha Charitra 2, one might conclude that Suriya can be confined to only versatile roles. He could also entertain the audience without and out commercial entertainers like Singham which portrayed him as a powerful police officer.

Suriya is a complete package actor who can portray almost any sort of role. One cannot forget the versatile characters he played in Gautham Menon’s Surya S/o Krishnan which earned high critical acclaim. He can pull off a lover boy look with his expressive eyes along with a fierce goon role with equal ease and perfection.

Telugu360 wishes the versatile actor Suriya a very happy birthday and a creative year ahead!

Talented actor Suriya made his impact in Tollywood with films like Ghajini, Veedokkade, Singam, Seventh Sense and 24. After back to back debacles, his Telugu market tumbled down. At one time, there was a huge demand for the Telugu theatrical rights of his films. But his recent outings Singam 3 and Gang released without enough noise in limited screens. His next film NGK is gearing up for release on May 31st which is directed by Selvaraghavan.

After a long wait, the makers sold the Telugu theatrical rights for Rs 8 crores which is quite low. The film lacked buzz and is expected to open on a low note for sure. KK Radha Mohan acquired the Telugu theatrical rights for Rs 8 crores. NGK features Suriya, Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh in the lead roles and is a political drama. Dream Warrior Pictures bankrolled NGK.

Talented actor Suriya is on a roll and is busy wrapping up films. His 39th film got announced today and it would be directed by Siva who directed a series of films with Ajith. KE Gnanavelraja will produce this prestigious project on Studio Green banner. The movie is said to be a mass entertainer and the project will start once Suriya wraps up all his current commitments.

Suriya wrapped up the shoot of NGK which is slated for May 31st release. He even completed shoot for KV Anand’s Kaappan which is announced for August release. The talented actor is currently busy shooting for Sudha Kongara’s Soorarai Pottru. Suriya will join the shoot of Siva’s film after he wraps up this project. The pre-production work of the film is currently on.
