My priority is Tamil films: Suriya
At times when most�actors migrate to Bollywood completely, Suriya is one person who 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 said to a leading English daily.
Speaking more on the success of his last film Aadhavan, the actor said, “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 realize 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.”
Suriya's next is Singam directed by Hari, which will grace theatres on April 14. “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�audiences of all centres. I’m confident about it. My characterization in the film is different. I play a village cop called Duraisingam,” he added.
