Suriya's success formula for picking winning scripts.

 Suriya's Success Formula

Suriyain a recent interview talked about MaattrraaN and also revealed his success formula for picking winning scripts.

About MaattrraaN, the actor said that a lot of computer graphics were used and a lot of test shoots had to be done. He and KV Anand almost always opted for the difficult shots as they wanted to really impress the audience. The film is almost complete and there will be no need for editing or post production.

The actor has the rare distinction of being the “darling of the critics as well as fans”. When quizzed about this, Suriya revealed that he merely picks scripts that incorporate offbeat subjects with high entertainment value. He added that he has been lucky to get scripts like that.

Shruthi haasan talking about 7aum arivu & Suriya

I admire to Suriya’s work – Shruthi haasan

Shruti Haasan talks to “Hyderabad Times” about her forthcoming projects, rumors in the industry, dad Kamal Haasan and much more…
She’s doing films in both the big southern film industries, and actress Shruti Haasan is enjoying the experience. While in Tamil, she has the much-anticipated ” 7am Arivu” with Suriya in the lead to look forward to, in Tollywood, she has a film with Siddharth titled “Oh My Friend” and a movie with Junior NTR that’s keeping her busy.

The actress feels that “7aum Arivu”, which is her debut as a lead actress in Tamil cinema, has shaped up quite well. Sources say that she plays the role of a scientist in the film that marks the return of the super hit “Ghajini” combo (Suriya-Murugadoss-Harris Jayaraj). Quiz her about it and she says, “I can’t reveal a lot about it now as it’s all so hush-hush,” she starts off, “But the strength of this film’s director — Murugadoss — is that he never loses sight of the concept in the subject. Working on the film has been an enriching experience and I can safely say that it is genuinely different.”

Most of her friends were super excited when they heard that Shruti was cast opposite Suriya in the film. “Yes,” she gushes, “They were thrilled! I’ve always admired Suriya’s work and this film gave me an opportunity to watch him at close quarters. It’s been a learning experience.”
Her co-star in the film, Suriya, has often been described as the ‘next Kamal Haasan’ by people in the industry. So, what does she feel about it? “Well, I’m biased about my dad,” she states, “I’m very proud when people commend my dad’s work and think highly of his films. Today, if someone is termed as the next Kamal Haasan, tomorrow someone might be described as the next Suriya. That’s the charm of cinema.”

Nandha production details

Nandha Production Details

The title role was initially offered to Ajith Kumar, who rejected the film citing that Bala had not fully developed the story and screenplay before narrating the terms to him. Suriya, who had notably also replaced Ajith Kumar in Nerukku Nerto make his debut, was selected as his replacement.

The director also tried to rope in Sivaji Ganesanfor a character role in the film, but his unavailability led to Rajkiran being cast^. Laila was signed on as heroine to play a Sri Lankan refugee.

The role required Suriya to undergo physical change, so production was delayed until Suriya had finished filming for Friends and Uyirile Kalanthathu.

The first look of the film created media anticipation, with both Suriya and Rajkiran sporting looks which they had not portrayed before. Post-release, Suriya has stated "when Nandha happened, everything changed. I became a serious actor, and director Bala instilled in me the discipline to work without committing errors."Now, Our Suriya proudly says, “He is my Guru”.
