Suriya interview: ‘I remember my first salary was ₹ 736’

The Hindu  

This Deepavali will be a quiet one at the Suriya household. Unlike in previous years when his films would release to much fan frenzy in theatres, his latest movie, Soorarai Pottru, will drop directly on OTT platform Amazon Prime next Thursday. Inspired by the life of Captain Gopinath, the film has Suriya playing Maara, a villager who is a ‘rebel with an idea’, as the trailers suggest. With director Sudha Kongara’s vision, we have added characters coming alive around the protagonist and made it a cinematic experience. I showed her the CGI work done in Hollywood film Gemini Man, and was hoping she would rope in someone who looks like me for that sequence.
