Surya and Jyothika are back after their honeymoon in Italy. It was a well deserved holiday for the couple after the hectic one-month, in which Sillunu Oru Kadhal produced by their home banner released and their “big wedding”. On arrival, Surya gave his first ever interview since marriage. He spoke to Moviebuzz in this exclusive interview
What is your current state of mind?
I am a very happy and relaxed. Me and Jo, we had a great time in Europe. And now I am getting back to work.
The buzz on SOK is not encouraging. Please comment?
I have great respect for Sify.com but you have reported in Chennai box-office that my film is a flop. I disagree to it as SOK is a hit especially in A centres and overseas. Do you know that it will break my Ghajini record at Sathyam theatre in Chennai? In Coimbatore, the film is doing extremely well and overseas people simply love it.
So you mean to say that SOK is a hit?
I can confidently say that none of my distributors will lose money. It is doing better business in cities than B and C stations. The masses love my Aaru and Mayaavi which were masala entertainers.
There has been criticism about Bhoomika’s character which critics say was the weakest link in the film?
I beg to differ. On the contrary, I think that Aishwarya character is one of the biggest strengths in the film. Bhoomika who played the role had told a Tamil weekly that it is one of her career best roles. And everyone found her in the campus scenes to be strikingly sweet and subdued.
But why did top actors Asin and Trisha refused to do that role?
I don’t want to rake up old issues. Asin had initially agreed to do the film and my producer, director and cameraman had met her in her house at Kochi and given her a huge advance. Later she backed out saying that the script has to be re-written. Will any self respecting director change his script? I’m sure that the Aishu character in SOK is much better than what Asin did in Majaa or Sivakasi.
Let’s not talk about it anymore, as bygones are bygones. I feel that Bhoomika has done an outstanding performance as Aishu. And what Sify.com reported about Trisha and Asin having the last laugh sounds ridiculous to me!
Tell us why Vikram was not invited for your wedding?
It was not intentional…. we had even missed out Vijaykanth sir whom I respect a lot. In fact we had invited Vikram and his family personally for my sister’s wedding, but they never turned up or even bothered to call up.
But Vikram was the actor who gave you equal footage in his Pitamagan?
(Smiles)… Pitamagan was directed by my guru Bala sir and it was he, who insisted that my role should not be tampered with. I owe everything only to Bala sir and nobody else.
What are your future projects?
I have thrown myself back to work which is my passion. I will be doing simultaneously Gautham’s new thriller with Deepika Padgonkar and Vishnuvardhan’s Sarvam with a new girl.
How is Jo? How has she adjusted to being a housewife?
She is the best thing that has happened to me. (Smiles) Like what I said in SOK- I am the happiest man in the world. For time being, Jo will not be doing any films.
Rahman’s exuberant work proved futile in SOK
This year is just not Rahman’s year. We did not mean to be rude but there is no better way to express it though. Despite his brilliant efforts, the year’s much-hyped Surya – Jyothika starrer SOK only managed to register average collections all over. While this could well be termed that Rahman’s magic did not work out with the movie, Rahman’s work was exceptional in SOK.
The songs are chartbusters and are here to stay for months together on top of the charts. His Newyork Nagaram and Munbe Vaa are no lesser than masterpieces that showcase his unparallel musical excellence. The background score too was outstanding and has blended well with the movie.
Rahman has the mega movie Sivaji in his kitty up next and the combination of Shankar and Rahman has always generated smash hits with movies like Kadhalan, Gentleman, Indian, Mudhalvan, and Boys. To be precise, Shankar’s career spanned around Rahman and his music played an imperative role in the success of Shankar’s films.
It is high time now for Rahman to recreate his musical spell with Sivaji. Let us hope that Sivaji will bring back the monster talent back to the Tamil movies.

The interview is a surprise...He's been very polite and ensured there are no controversial statements in any of his previous interviews.
Here he's gone bonkers !
Why can't he just accept that the movie didn't work !! Everyone who's anyone in movie circle knows SOK is a flop !!!

Why then Aishu's character was made to look like an extension of 'kalpana' of ghajini ?!?! It looked very much like bhoomika was asked to ape Asin especially in the scenes where surya calls her up at home.
Of course this is not the year of thalaivar. HJ with his mediocre music talent has been able to give a blockbuster like VV. Even last year he gave Anniyan And Ghajini. But our own Thalai has been giving some flops like AE,SOK, etc, inspite of the fact that these films had some excellent songs and BGM. Even Sachin tendulkar has gone through some worst calender years. I believe the same has happened with ARR also. Thanks to RDB, ARRfans had some reasons to cheer.Quote:

Shankar, ellarum ARR illa....okva.....ppl. dont tend to accept things gracefully.... :D
SOK is still no.1 in many of audio-only countdowns......but in movie based countdowns like suntv and jayatv, it is slipping away fast....
btw, has SOK been removed from any of theaters in Chennai???
IMO, Suriya's interview was very candid and I felt he spoke very well.
May be he is unable to digest the failure of SOK or he managed to produce this movie to show some loss to the IT people, who always spring in action by Diwali time.
MADDY, SOK's collections has picked up. My friends tried to go for the movie day before yesterday, but the theatre was housefull . So they ended up watching emdan magan :) .
