When Suriya came to Kochi for the promotion of his latest film, Singham 2, he termed the visit as a big thank you for the Malayalis who always shower him with their unconditional love. Narrating an incident that happened in Dubai, Suriya says, “I got lost while in Dubai at about 10.30 pm in a remote place and it was a Malayali family that gave me a lift in their car to my hotel."
Suriya promises that the Singham sequel would have the same emotions and feelings of the original but on a bigger, international platform. “Singham 2 will be more fierce and my character Duraisingham is not a movie cop who bashes up people but one who is rooted in reality."
Talking about Mollywood, he says, “The ideas and concepts are inspiring. In Kollywood the emphasis is more on the commercial angle but Malayalam films are rooted in reality. They move you even if it is a small film." Asked if he would be open to acting in Malayalam, Suriya smiles, “I was about to say yes to a project but things did not work out. I am looking forward to working in a Malayalam film."
Talking exclusively to DC, he spoke about the personal enrichment he had gained from the TV show Neengalum Vellalam Oru Kodi. “Every time you come across a new challenge, it enriches you and makes you a better person! I met so many contestants from different walks of life with so many problems. The only problem is that one ends up getting emotionally connected to the people and need some time to detoxify oneself. It literally shakes you up to know that there are people with so many difficulties and one should be counting one's blessings instead of cribbing about problems." Dileep is one actor who Suriya looks up to as he feels they are in the same age group and Suriya has done many remakes of Dileep's films.
Before signing off, he says, “I feel sad that I am not doing enough for parallel cinema! That is a big handicap as far as I am concerned."
