Suriya: I'm not needed in Bollywood!

Tamil superstar Suriya Sivakumar arrived quietly in Mumbai this week to shoot for his Hindi debut in Ram Gopal Varma’s Rakta Charitra. He is excited about this venture and is quite fond of the city life and its food.
He’s staying at his wife Jyothika’s residence in Mumbai and trying hard to pick up the rudiments of the Hindi language from a coach he has brought along. Says Suriya, “Jo (Jyothika) has an apartment in Bandra. So I’ve been coming to Mumbai 4-5 times a month. I enjoy the city, its people and food and then I go back to Chennai. I don’t think this pattern will change.”

Suriya admits his Hindi isn’t quite what Bollywood requires. “I’ve an assistant with me to help me with my Hindi dialogue. Ramu sir has assured me I don’t need to worry about my dialogue. I like to say my own lines on screen without prompting or someone else dubbing for me. I’ve to see how my Hindi goes. I did have a teacher in Chennai but that bookish Hindi won’t work in Hindi films.”

Soft-spoken and very focused on his career Suriya doesn’t see Rakta Charitra as a new beginning. “I took up this offer because I respect Ramu sir and the way he attempts new kind of cinema each time regardless of failure or success. He’s got plenty of innovative ideas. I love Rangeela and Sarkar. We’ve been friends for 4-5 years. When he narrated this script to me I thought I must be part of this project. Also there will be a Tamil and Telugu version of the film. So I thought I’d get a chance to simultaneously be on home ground and try something new.”

Bollywood is a different world for Suriya. “Bollywood has enough talented actors. I don’t think I’m needed here. Rakta Charitra required only 30-40 days of my time, so I could manage. I don’t think I’d be able to fit in a more time-taking Hindi project. I do have my commitments in Tamil cinema and I can’t give them up. Here the way of working is entirely different. I don’t know whether I can fit in. I don’t think I’d want to do the run-ofthe-mill Bollywood films. I want to do work that would challenge me as an actor.”

Ask him to rate himself as an actor, and Suriya, who played Aamir Khan’s role in the Tamil version of Ghajini, says, “I think my younger brother Karthik is a better actor than I am. I started taking myself seriously as an actor after doing Bala’s Nandha. I realised with a capable director I can get the performance right after 2-3 takes. I’ve seen my heroines getting it right in the first take. My wife is a onetake actor.”

Will Suriya do Major Ravi’s Kandahar?

The Malayalam film director Major Ravi is quite a colourful character known for his military based films in Malayalam (Keerthichakra, Kurukshetra, Mission 90 Days) as he was a former commando. Remember that his Keerthichakra was dubbed into Tamil as Aran, with Jiiva played a role in the film?

Now Ravi is planning to do a film tentatively titled Kandahar based on the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 in 1999 which was on its way from Kathmandu to New Delhi. The film will be a trilingual in Malayalam, Tamil and Hindi as it boasts of Mohanlal, Suriya and Amitabh Bachchan.

Amitabh when he came down to Cochin last week confirmed that he is doing a “cameo role in the film that won’t be more than three days and will probably shot in a Mumbai studio.”

A week later the Kerala media quoting Ravi said that “Suriya will play a commando and in all probability would be playing Amitabh's son in the film”. The buzz is that the film will be produced by Mohanlal’s right hand man Antony Perumbavoor in association with an NRI.

But when contacted, there is no official word from Suriya or his media manager on whether the actor will do Kandahar. However sources close to the development say that Suriya wants to be a pan Indian actor and is looking at Bollywood seriously.

Take a look at Suriya movies after Singam. He is doing Ram Gopal Varma’s Hindi and Telugu bi lingual Raktha Charitra with Vivek Oberoi. Next big film of his is with Ghajini director AR Murgadoss which will be having a Tamil, Telugu and Hindi version, and they have roped in Sruthi Hassan to be the heroine. :frightened:

So in all probability Suriya may be testing the waters and may do Kandahar as it has the legend Big B and Mohanlal who is known in Bollywood as a fine actor.

Udhayanidhi’s all praise for Suriya

Udhayanidhi Stalin has joined hands with Suriya for the second time. The ‘Aadhavan’ producer says the movie to be directed by A R Murugadoss would set new standards in Tamil cinema. :roll:

“We are bringing ace cinematographer Ravi K Chandran to Kollywood again with this film. He is so humble and down to earth even after a lot of achievements to his credit. Murugadoss’ hard work to polish the script was remarkable,” the young producer says.

He adds: “Shooting will commence soon and plans are on to release the film by the end of this year. :shock: Harris Jayaraj :2thumbsup: is busy composing tunes. On the whole, I am happy to work with Suriya, Murugadoss, Ravi K Chandran and Harris Jayaraj.”

On his other production venture which would have Kamal Haasan in the lead, Udhayanidhi says, “Kamal sir took me to the discussion room where I was stunned by his knowledge. He is a master of all subjects. We discussed for about 10 times so far. An official announcement will be made soon.”

Suriya out of Kandahar?

Contrary to earlier reports that popular Tamil-Telugu hero Suriya would be playing the role of a commando in Army office-turned-filmmaker Major Ravi's forthcoming bilingual Kandahar to be made simultaneously in Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu with Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Mohanlal in the lead, it is now heard that Suriya has called up Mohanlal and explained his inability to do the project as he has no free dates! Sources say that Mohanlal is now on the lookout for a saleable action hero in Tamil to replace Suriya.

Produced by Mohanlal's own Pranavam Arts, the film is inspired by the hijacking of Indian Airlines flight IC-814 in 1999. It was hijacked by five Pakistani militants while on its way from Kathmandu to New Delhi on Christmas Eve and was forced to land in three different airports (Amritsar, Lahore, and Dubai) before spending a week on the tarmac in Kandahar with 186 hostages on board. Kandahar will be shot in Delhi, Nepal and Kerala.

‘Aadhavan’ celebrates 100 days
IndiaGlitz [Monday, March 22, 2010]


Suriya’s ‘Aadhavan’ will celebrate its 100 days tomorrow in a hotel at Chennai.

‘Aadhavan’ directed by K S Ravikumar is produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Red Giant Movies.

Padma Shri Kamal Haasan and Mr. Rama Narayanan, President of Tamil Producers’ Film Council are the Chief Guests and will distribute the shields to all the cast and the crew of ‘Aadhavan’.

Well, Suriya’s delivering hits consecutively, Varanam Aayiram, Ayan, Aadhavan, etc. Suriya is almost ready to hit the theatres this summer with Hari’s ‘Singam’.

At the 100th day function of ‘Aadhavan’, Kamal Haasan gave a piece of advice to all the actors in general and Suriya in particular. Kamal said actors must put the success behind and move forward every time. He said the worst enemy for an actor is his previous film. What Kamal meant here is that if an actor rests on the previous laurels he then can’t move forward. Similarly if he is sulking for the previous failure then also he can’t move on.

The advice was well heeded by Suriya who has given successive hits starting with Vel, then Vaaranam Aayiram, Ayan and now Aadhavan. So Kamal was talking on the right stage to the right actor. But Suriya we know is one of the most responsible actors who doesn’t take success to his head. That’s why he is able to deliver hits after hits. And as he said on the same stage that he looks up to Kamal for inspiration after signing every film, Suriya knows what Kamal meant.

First things first. Those worried about Bollywood luring away their beloved Suriya from Kollywood can now put their minds at ease. The 34-year-old star, who has been having a series of successes, has made it amply clear that no matter what, Tamil films come first for him.

“My priority is Tamil films. Raktha Charithra with Ram Gopal Varma sir is just another opportunity that I got and that’s the reason I’m doing it. I don’t see my career going that way. If at all there is an impressive project there which I think will help my market grow, I might do it. Otherwise, my roots are in Chennai and my foothold is in Tamil,” he clarifies.

The crew of Aadhavan recently celebrated the occasion of the film completing 100 days. So, how does he feel about delivering hit after hit?

Says the star, “I would consider the success of both my films last year as a leap. When I get to know that collections have doubled, the first thought that strikes me is not a sense of joy and pride. Rather, it is the feeling that so many more people have watched me and are now intently following what I’m doing. When I realise this, it only induces an element of fear and makes me more responsible. I’m accountable to all those viewers. So, I make every effort, right from the word go, to ensure that the projects I do are perfect.”

The star, who is known for his sense of humour, referred to veteran actress Saroja Devi as Kannadathu Paingili at the 100th day function of Aadhavan, much to the delight of all those present, including the veteran actress herself. Draw his attention to it and he chuckles, “In one of my earlier movies, Pithamagan, I play the role of a tricky salesman who sells a bottle of perfume to a customer by offering him a soap box, which I claim has been used by her. Recently, she pretended to chide me for it saying, ‘Kannadaththu Paingilinnu solli soapu dabba vithiya?’ (Did you try to sell a soap box saying it belonged to the Kannadathu Paingili?) I wanted to pull her leg again and felt like saying it one more time. That was why I said it on stage.”

Needless to say, Suriya’s next film Singam too has triggered expectations. He says, “Singam will be a trademark film of Hari sir. But he’s again shown me in a different shade. It is not a regular village film. It will be a good summer release that will satisfy the audiences of all centres. I’m confident about it.”

Finally, ask him what’s so special about this movie and he says, “My characterisation in the film is different. I play a village cop called Duraisingam.”

Suriya in Parthiban direction
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, April 07, 2010]


Parthiban is known for his creative ways of expressing his feelings to his friends on special days. His bouquets are always a talking point at the household of Suriya whenever he celebrates his birth day. Even Parthiban’s Manitha Neya Mantram is said to have influenced Suriya largely in forming his own Agaram Foundation. Now the off screen friendship between Suriya and Parthiban is all set to take roots on big screen.

Buzz is that Suriya is impressed with a story of Parthiban and is likely to do the film under Parthiban direction. It also says Parthiban and Suriya were to do a film after ‘Mounam Pesiyathey’ but that did not happen for some reasons. But the critics say director Vasanth has been trying for very long to get the dates of Suriya but not getting it. If Suriya hasn’t preferred Vasanth yet will he with Parthiban?

Mounam Pesiyadhe. 8-) Even tho his performances were great in gajini, kaaka kaaka and perazhagan, I like the Charecter he played in MP, and ofcourse the way he played it.

It was realistic. I know a couple guys who are sort of like Gautham. it was entertaining to watch it again recently after I came to india. :)

From that Article in Ram Gopal Verma's blog::::

Amitabh Bachchan has a holding power through his eyes which look outwardly as calm as a sea. But if you look closely enough they have the depth of an ocean. In contrast the feelings in Surya’s eyes are like a seething volcano erupting through a rough sea. In some close-ups in “Rakta Charitra” I felt that the intensity in his eyes would burn the camera. I find it difficult to understand what emotional depths and sensitivity Surya as a person could have experienced in life for him to be possessing so much within his eyes for him to be able to convey such tremendous intensity through his eyes. His eyes don’t just speak… they literally scream.

P.S: I am posting some pics of Surya in here from some scenes in “Rakta Charitra” to illustrate this point of mine.

WHAT DOES MURUGADOSS HAVE IN STORE?

AR Murugadoss

May 11, 2010

Director AR Murugadoss has always given films that delve around something new. His novel ideas were evident in Ramana and later in the hit film Ghajini which was such a big blockbuster that it took AR Murugadoss to Bollywood and he became an acclaimed director on an all India level.

This director is back in Kollywood again and has teamed up with Suriya. The film is the hot topic for discussion among the movie buffs because reports suggest that the story line is extremely unique. Also, there are rumors that Murugadoss has named the film Ezhavathu Arivu. But the director has not confirmed the title, so we don’t know if it’s true. We will keep you posted.

The 'Seventh Sense' of Murugadoss

IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, May 12, 2010]

You have heard of the sixth sense in human beings. Now what is this Seventh Sense? Read on.

A R Murugadoss has already challenged that his next film is going to be the best Indian movie ever. The challenge was liked by all creative geniuses including Kamal Haasan. So Murugadoss has started his efforts from the title onwards.

The new film of Murugadoss with Suriya is at the end of its pre-production stage and the unit will leave for China in the first week of June. That is the first schedule. Currently the director is busy with Harris Jayaraj finalising the song recordings. To the much anticipated film Murugadoss has given the title 'Ezhavathu Arivu'. It means seventh sense which is a level more than the sixth sense which characterises human beings.

Udhayanidhi Stalin produces this film which unites Murugadoss and Suriya after the phenomenally successful 'Ghajini' in 2005.

So will the hero of the film Suriya be a super human in the film. The ‘Ghajini’ combo can make it possible.

well i'm expecting very intense film from murugadoss....he is very confident...that too he says that his film with surya will be the best indian film ever made....lets see...
