Early life
The actor Surya is none other than the son of Mr. Siva Kumar who was one of the best actors during the 1980’s. Siva Kumar who was known as Endrummarkandeyan by the Tamil people is not only a good actor but he has been contributing in the virtual things and it is believed that he is one of the very cultural and disciplined men among the Tamil cinema actors. Even though Surya is getting a place in the list of Tamil actors introduced by their Fathers, he got the position that he holds now in the Tamil cinema only by his own skills and hard work. His cinemas like Nandha, Khakka Kaaka and the films followed by those two are standing as the proof for this point.
Before going to the other things about the Surya, we shall see some interesting information's about Surya.
Surya is one of the few Tamil actors who are completely from Tamilnadu. That is, Surya born in the city Madurai which is in Tamilnadu and brought up in Tamilnadu itself and his past generations are from Tamilnadu.
One of the famous directors Cheenu Ramasamy has expressed his wish of directing movies with Suriya in an interview.
Let me give you some answers to questions about Surya that most of us will have in mind.
How many Siblings Surya has?
Interesting Facts about Suriya:
At the climax scene shoot for Kaaka Kaaka movie, Surya has done the following this for the shot to come well.
1. He has not eaten anything from the morning of the day and used to stand upside down for several hours to bring red eyes.
2. Due to all these efforts for those scenes, Suriya has collapsed physically and fell inside water from the broken bridge where the shooting was going on. Then the crew of the scene including stunt persons saved him from falling into the water.
While the director of Kaaka Kaaka Gautham Vasudev Menon explained about the Cinematography works of that movie, he mentioned that he and the cinematographer Rajasekar worked together and used some ideas like low angle shots and not keeping anything taller than Surya behind him in the movie to show him tall enough.
Suriya is the one who suggested Art director Rajeevan for the movie Kaaka Kaaka when the director had Thotta Dharani in mind for that movie.
Jothika has instructed Suriya not to act in the fall from height scene which is the first scene of the movie Kaaka Kaaka. But as the scene did not come up well with Dube, Suriya has convinced Jothika and acted himself again and got ok in the very first take.
The friendship and love between Surya and Jothika have almost developed in the sets of Kaaka Kaaka.
Words of Celebrities about Suriya:
Filmy career
Even though the beginning career of Surya was with a lack of successful films like Poovellaamkettuppar, Uyirileykalandhadhu, Periyanna, etc., and then Surya came back with few hit movies like Nerukkunaer and Friends. Even after giving those hits, as Surya was not the only hero and acted with Vijay, Surya was slightly out of the frame to talk about and in those days, the Tamil actors, Vijay and Ajithkumar were the most famous actors of the Kollywood cinema field.
The turning point of the cinema career of Surya was, Nandha which was directed by the Director Bala who has directed some milestone films of Tamil cinema, like, Sethu, Pithamagan, etc., After the remarkable hit of the Surya movie, Nandha, he was recognized as a performance-oriented actor of the industry and he started getting nice movies acting opportunities like, Maunampesiyadhae, KakkaKakka, etc., After the success story of the movies, Maunampesiyadhae, Nandha, Suriya got another drawback by means of the movie, Shri. But the fair hit of the movie, Unnaininaithu by the direction of Vickraman. Sneha paired with Surya in the movie Unnai Ninaithu.
The movie, KakkaKakka which was directed by GauthamVasudevMenon got nice name for him. Followed by the massive hit of KakkaKakka, Surya accepted the biggest challenge of acting in a dual role where representing a strong boxer role and the role of handicraft in the movie, Perazhagan. He had put his lot of efforts in that movie as a result; Perazhagan got another blockbuster ranking with a nice demand for Surya. On the other hand, Surya acted in the movie Pithamagan which was directed by his turning point given director, Bala joining role with Vikram. An important note here is, actor Vickram got the National award for his performance in Pithanagan. But still, the acting exposure of Surya in that movie of Surya was broadly spoken around Tamilnadu as he had shown the difference in his performance in his closest movies, Kakkakakka and Pithamagan.
On seeing these continuous hits of Surya, he got some opportunities from Mani Rathnam namely, Aayudhaezhuthu in which he had acted with R. Madhavan and Siddharth. The role Michael that Surya had done in that movie was a strong aggressive youth student who enters the country politics by refusing his American Scholarship. The next one was namely; Maayavi which was a fully-fledged comedy movie and Surya had done his great performance with his comedy expressions. Jothika was the pair in the movie Mayavi with Surya.
