'I wanted to do less intense roles', Suriya

Jan 9, 2018 JB

Suriya is busy promoting his release for this week Thaana Serndha Koottam directed by Vignesh Shivan. The film is based on the Hindi film Special 26 but the crew says they have changed a lot in the Tamil version. The film has Anirudh’s peppy music which has already caught the attention of movie buffs.

In one of the interactions with the media, Suriya says that after doing a lot of intense and loud characters such as Doraisingam in Singam franchise, he wanted to try something lively and casual. That’s when director Vignesh Shivan narrated the story.

Suriya says, “Of late, I have been playing a lot of intense roles and haven’t got the opportunity to play an entertaining character like Satya (his character in Thaana Serndha Koottam). When Vignesh came for the narration, we went to a roadside stall and had tea. He asked me when I had last drank tea at such a stall, and explained that my role in Thaanaa Serndha Koottam would begin in a similar setting. It reminded me that I hadn’t done something like that for a long time and I also thought of my school days when I used to travel in buses. In a way, the film has helped me reconnect with my roots and who I really am.” Click the Movie button below for more info:
