SURIYA TO TRUMP SNEHA

One of the very few actors in Tamil cinema to have a line up of endorsements is Suriya who seems to have added another product to his ever growing kitty.

He is roped in by Saravana Stores and will soon be seen in a TV commercial. Print ads are also planned for the same.

Sneha has been a constant with Saravana Stores for a couple of years now. Looks like Suriya’s popularity among female fans has fetched him the contract with the retailer.

What is Suriya in Avan Ivan ?

IndiaGlitz [Friday, June 18, 2010]

You already knew Suriya is doing a guest role in the Vishal-Arya starrer 'Avan Ivan' only for his mentor Bala.

But his fans were restless to know what will Suriya be doing in the double hero film directed by Bala. IndiaGlitz managed to find out.

In 'Avan Ivan' Suriya plays himself as an actor and dances for a song. Yes. Much like what Simran did in Bala's 'Pithamagan'.

In ‘Pithamagan’ Simran played an actress who comes to the village which is a big fan of her. She there dances for a song to make them happy.

But in ‘Avan Ivan’ Suriya will be dancing to an original song and not a re-mix as Simran did in ‘Pithamagan’.

Baradwaj Rangan takes a "shot" at Surya and family that is bound to please a lot of Surya haters here.

To be fair, Sivakumar didnt leave much choice to people when he said:

Even until my children were 18 or 20 years of age, all of us used to sleep in one room, despite the fact that each of us had individual rooms. This was very helpful in the sense that their minds, through that delicate phase called adolescence, never went astray

Suriya to expand his help

Suriya, who is reaching out to the needy students in Tamil Nadu through his social service organisation ‘Agaram Foundation’, said on Sunday that he was ready to expand his service to the deserving students in Karnataka.

The actor was speaking at the valedictory ceremony of a sporting event in Bangalore, where around 100 players from 12 States all over India took part. “Helping a student to get education is the biggest of all helps,” he said.

“Through Agaram Foundation, we are doing all possible help to the students in Tamil Nadu. I am ready to extend the services of the organisation to Karnataka too if sponsors come forward to support us,” Suriya said.

Meanwhile, shooting of the actor’s forthcoming film ‘7am Arivu’ started today. Produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin on Red Giant Movies banner, the film with Sruthi Hassan as heroine is directed by A R Murugadoss.

Getting into B-town is a challenge: Suriya

TIMES OF INDIA

Dated: Jun 23, 2010

It’s his first press con in namma Bengaluru, and Suriya, who flew down to the city on Sunday to promote a leading cellular network, was surprised when people recognised him at the airport.

It’s good to know that you have a fan base even outside your home turf,” he tells us. The actor, who became a father for the second time recently, is spending a lot of time with family. “My son has completely gone on his mum (Jyothika). We have 4-5 names, but we’re yet to pick one,” says Suriya.

Workwise, he’s currently busy with Rakta Charitra (RC), a real-life story based on Paritala Ravi, a gangster in Andhra Pradesh in the early ’80s. “I play Maddelacheruvu Suri, an intense character, and a rival of Vivek Oberoi, who essays the role of Paritala Ravi. Suri is the only one in the story who’s still alive. I haven’t met him yet, but I’ve tried to model my body language based on the narrative given by director Ram Gopal Varma,” explains Suriya.

Rakta Charitra, a bilingual, will also mark his debut in Bollywood. “Well, you can’t technically call it that because I didn’t take up RC with an intention to enter Bollywood. It’s just that when Ramu sir told me about the script, I was very impressed. The movie is so intense and has no heroine, songs or dances. So, Ramu sir calls it a men’s film. And for both Ramu sir and me, the film has come at an important stage in our careers — RGV has the experience to direct such an intense film after so many milestones and I can afford to experiment with such a character,” says Suriya.

As for entering Bollywood with this bilingual, he chooses to call it the next step in his journey. “It’s about widening my reach and taking up the challenge to appeal to a pan-Indian audience. It’s a completely different set-up and ambience. But I won’t leave Tamil cinema. Even when I accept a Hindi film, I’ll ensure it’s watchable for my fans in the south as well,” states Suriya.

And he’s appreciative of projects that provide a platform for both B-town and southern actors to share the same frame. “Such films bridge the gap between north and south Indian films. Actors whom you’d see only in Hindi films are that much closer to you. It’s better than watching dubbed versions,” he says.

Suriya had earlier told us that his daughter Diya’s Hindi is better than his. How’s it now? “It’s improved. I understand Hindi better now, and can even read and write it. I have a tutor from Madurai to coach me. I’m not sure of dubbing for RC because I don’t want the audiences’ attention to be diverted by my accent. It all depends on what Ramu sir wants,” says Suriya.
