He is the epitome of hard work and dedication; with every film he raises his standards. We are talking about none other than Suriya, the experimental hero of Kollywood. The actor is currently concentrating on his pet project Maattrraan, directed by K.V. Anand. So here we take a look at Suriya's stint in Kollywood so far...

2002 - Who would have thought, ten years down the line this young lad would be considered one of India’s best actors, earning that compliment from the likes of Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma?!

2004 - Big movies and big bucks have made him a big star. But we love his big heart.

2006 - Naive and shy are the words that come to our mind when we remember the Suriya of
Nerukku Ner, quietly wooing the sensual Simran!

2008 - The first star in South Indian cinema to sport gorgeous, chiselled 6-pack abs, Suriya  broke a lot of hearts that year!

2011 - Suriya is the hero off-screen as well. We are big fans of the good work that his Agaram Foundation has undertaken to bring education to the underprivileged.
