He
is
the
go-getter
of
Kollywood.
Give
him
a
small
opportunity
and
he
squeezes
out
the
maximum
benefit
out
of
it.
When
Ultimate
Star
Ajith
had
pulled
himself
out
of
Nerukku
Ner,
Suriya
bagged
the
role
and
entered
the
industry.
When
his
contemporaries
have
missed
out
on
movies
such
as
Kakka
Kakka,
Ghajini,
Nanda
etc.,
he
was
clever
in
grabbing
the
same
and
setting
his
strong
foot
in
the
K-Town.
Chiselling
himself
with
the
art
of
dance,
fight
and
a
complete
image
makeover
through
body
building,
Suriya
now,
is
one
of
the
top
5
leading
actors
of
Tamil
cinema
and
as
well
commands
a
massive
market
in
Andhra,
Telangana
and
the
overseas
next
to
Rajinikanth.
Our
Nadippin
Nayagan
(as
he
is
fondly
called
by
his
fans),
has
been
very
diligent
in
choosing
scripts
suiting
his
image
and
then
getting
himself
tuned
to
the
content
of
the
movie
and
thereby
transforming
himself
into
a
complete
performer.
With
each
film
passing
by,
the
41-year-old
passionate
actor
comes
out
with
a
lot
of
variations
and
innovation,
both
in
his
styling
and
script
thereby
producing
success
quite
often
at
the
box
office.
But
it
has
been
a
worrisome
period
for
the
experimental
actor
as
he
is
undergoing
a
rough
patch
for
quite
some
time
now.
He
last
tasted
his
absolute
success
in
2013
through
Singam
II.
Post
Singam
II,
Suriya
teamed
up
with
Lingusamy
for
Anjaan.
Anjaan
was
projected
as
The
Mass
Movie
for
Suriya
comparing
the
movie
with
the
likes
of
Baasha
and
Billa.
The
movie
released
with
much
hype
and
fanfare,
thanks
to
its
songs
and
Suriya's
appealing
look
in
the
movie
but
eventually
bombed
at
the
box
office.
The
Venkat
Prabhu
directorial,
Mass
Engira
Massilamani,
his
subsequent
release
too,
was
riding
with
its
own
set
of
expectations
but
turned
out
to
be
another
dud
at
the
box
office.
The
content
of
the
movie,
too
being
labelled
as
average,
and
eventually
the
movie's
prospect
at
the
box
office
was
negative.
However,
24,
which
was
directed
by
Manam
fame,
Vikram
Kumar,
was
appreciated
by
certain
sections
of
critics.
The
movie
fared
moderately
better
in
AP/TG
circuits
than
in
Tamil
Nadu.
But
the
overall
commercial
face
of
the
movie
was
not
as
expected
and
finally
ended
up
as
an
average
grosser.
With
the
second
part
of
the
Singam
franchise,
i.e.
Singam
II,
having
made
it
huge
at
the
box
office,
the
Suriya-Hari
combination
decided
to
join
hands
once
again
and
come
out
with
Si3.
As
the
template
and
characters
of
the
movie
were
being
well-etched
in
the
minds
of
the
audience,
this
more
seemed
to
be
a
safe
bet
for
the
Ayan
actor.
Si3,
though
was
supposed
to
hit
the
screens
during
2016
Diwali,
underwent
a
series
of
postponements
with
respect
to
the
release
date
and
eventually
hit
screens
during
the
month
of
February.
With
Tamil
Nadu
facing
severe
issues
such
as
Jallikattu
protest,
government
issues
etc.,
the
movie
tanked
at
the
BO
though
the
content
was
a
decent
one
and
ended
up
as
a
disaster
due
to
the
high
distribution
costs
involved.
Post
Naanum
Rowdy
Thaan's
success,
director
Vignesh
Sivan
seems
very
promising
and
could
be
banked
upon
with
no
trouble,
as
the
director
is
calling
shots
for
Suriya's
upcoming
movie,
Thaanaa
Serndha
Koottam.
Being
produced
under
Suriya's
home
banner,
the
actor
would
be
expecting
this
prestigious
flick
to
send
ripples
post
its
release.
