SJ
Surya
was
in
the
news
recently
when
his
upcoming
movie
Isai's
album
featured
in
iTunes
India's
list
of
top
10
album.
It
is
a
rare
feat
that
has
been
achieved
by
the
director
turned
music
composer
as
it
is
hard
to
point
out
a
music
director
whose
maiden
album
has
featured
in
the
top
10
list
of
iTunes
India.
Isai's
music
album
has
received
positive
reviews
from
critics
as
well
as
from
fans
and
thus
has
heightened
the
expectations
of
the
movie.
Dedicating
the
success
to
AR
Rahman,
SJ
Surya
has
revealed
that
it
was
AR
Rahman
who
insisted
him
to
learn
music
and
to
compose
it
himself
for
his
film.
He
also
had
revealed
in
many
interviews
before
that
he
actually
came
into
the
industry
with
dreams
of
making
it
big
as
an
actor.
But
unfortunately
when
no
director
or
producer
wanted
him
as
an
actor,
he
became
a
director
and
a
producer
just
to
cast
himself
in
his
movies,
he
has
admitted.
He
has
also
said
that
nobody
else
could've
carried
the
role
of
a
deaf
and
dumb
character
so
stylishly
other
than
thala
Ajith.
"When
you
look
at
him
in
the
movie
(Vaali),
you
might
want
to
be
a
stylish
deaf
and
dumb
like
him" he
said.
"If
there
is
one
person
in
the
industry
whom
I
would
like
to
thank,
it
would
be
Ajith
sir
for
giving
me
a
break
through
Vaali",
he
added.
With
his
movie
Isai
all
set
to
hit
silver
screens
shortly,
the
director-actor-music
director
has
revealed
that
Isai
is
about
a
musician's
life
and
his
jealousy
towards
his
contemporary
music
director
who
makes
it
big
in
the
industry.
