Chennai:
Southern star Suriya is gearing up for his next release Anjaan with actress Samantha as the female lead. The movie is slated to be released on August 15. (Also read: Suriya Sivakumar: Kamal Haasan is my inspiration )
The actor, passionate about doing tough and difficult roles, will be seen playing a double role in Anjaan. "Directed by Linguswamy, Anjaan is a story about friendship and brothers; how a brother embarks on a journey to find his elder brother; the mystery associated with it is going to keep the audience entertained," said Suriya. He added "The screenplay is not from the hero's perspective but from the director's perspective - the way he reveals it is really nice, it's a breezy entertainer".
Largely a gangster oriented film, do such roles offer him good scope to prove his talent? Yes, said the actor, who has a huge fan following in the south. "It's been long since I played a baddie and such roles give us a lot of freedom, no logic and we can do whatever we want."
In a changing trend, many super hit Tamil movies are being re-made in Hindi. Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan will be seen playing the lead role in Singham Returns, which is actually a remake of Suriya's Tamil film Singam II. Wishing Ajay, Kareena and team the best, Suriya is happy that many Tamil films are repeating their box office success in Bollywood.
Do Tamil films give the 40 plus Bollywood actors like Ajay, Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan a new lease of life? No, Suriya explains. "They are legends, talented actors for whom I have a lot of respect and regard. They surprise me every time. Aamir Sir gave us a lot of respect in Ghajini as we got a pan India launch pad through him. The same thing happened with Singham. I'm happy that the sensibilities are connecting," he said.
On many Tamil directors like A L Murugadoss and Prabhu Deva making a mark in Mumbai, Suriya adds Singham Returns will be launched in Chennai, Dhoom: 3 did really well here and Chennai Express too had its own audience. It will be nice if our films too are released there straight. It will give us a larger canvas and it will be great for our directors and producers who work for as long as two years on scripts at times."
Is there a sibling rivalry at home with his younger brother, actor Karthi? No, said the Singam hero. "We have a parallel path. Karthi is known for mischievous roles. He is also a good entertainer in real life. While he has endless possibilities. I've followed a set pattern which I am trying to break from."
There could be some good news for fans of Suriya's wife, actor Jyothika, who stopped acting after marriage. Suriya said that she has been going through multiple scripts simultaneously and will resume acting if everything goes well.
