Actor
Suriya,
who
loves
to
experiment
with
a
variety
of
roles
and
complex
projects,
says
he
wants
to
be
a
part
of
films
that
create
good
memories,
so
that
audiences
would
want
to
revisit
them
even
after
a
decade.
"Filmmaking
is
all
about
creating
memories
and
happiness.
Actors
are
like
bubbles;
not
ever
lasting
and
they
will
be
replaced
eventually.
What
you
leave
behind
are
good
films.
I
want
my
films
to
create
good
memories
even
when
they're
watched
after
a
decade," Suriya
told
IANS
in
an
interview.
An
ardent
admirer
of
'Ulaganayagan'
Kamal
Haasan,
the
Singam
star
unabashedly
admits
he
wants
to
walk
in
the
former's
path.
"Look
at
Kamal
sir's
films.
He
has
so
many
different
films
to
his
credit.
As
an
actor,
he
has
raised
the
bar
with
each
film.
That's
why
we
like
to
revisit
his
films
even
today.
There
are
entertaining
films,
hit
films
and
good
films.
But
not
all
hit
films
are
good
films," he
said,
adding
he
feels
disappointed
when
he
has
to
restrict
himself.
"When
I
look
at
the
work
of
Kamal
sir,
I
feel
I'm
not
delivering
enough.
I
will
never
get
tired
doing
something
different.
I
enjoyed
doing
films
like
'7aum
Arivu'
because
I
was
dealing
with
fresh
content,
and
'Maattrraan',
because
nobody
had
worked
on
a
film
with
conjoined
twins," he
said.
Suriya's
upcoming
release
is
a
time-travel
thriller,
24,
and
is
directed
by
Vikram
K
Kumar.
Tipped
to
be
an
ambitious
project,
Suriya
says
the
film
will
give
audiences
a
unique
"movie-watching"
experience.
"I
don't
want
to
hard
sell
'24'.
I'm
not
saying
we've
made
a
path-breaking
film
but
I
know
it
will
be
unique.
It's
a
film
one
might
come
across
once
in
3-4
years.
Unlike
Bollywood,
where
actors
are
lucky
to
work
with
directors
from
other
industries
with
willingness
to
experiment,
Tamil
actors
don't
have
too
many
choices,"
he
said.
Suriya
says
24
is
a
director's
film.
"This
movie
belongs
to
Vikram,
and
he
has
conceived
it
with
a
lot
of
passion.
I
might
be
playing
triple
roles
and
have
more
screen
presence,
but
nobody
can
overshadow
a
good
story,"
he
said.
The
movie
is
bankrolled
by
his
home
banner
2D
Entertainment,
and
Suriya
has
no
qualms
in
taking
risks
as
a
producer.
"Money
has
never
been
a
concern,
thanks
to
the
star
status
I
enjoy.
If
I
lose
money
in
a
project,
I
can
earn
it
in
the
next
one
I
act.
I
don't
have
to
sell
my
property
or
borrow
money
to
produce.
I
use
the
money
I've
earned
as
an
actor
to
invest
in
another
good
project,"
he
said.
Currently
shooting
for
S3,
the
third
installment
in
the
Singam
franchise,
Suriya
also
has
a
Telugu-Tamil
bilingual
project
in
the
offing.
"I'm
working
with
the
same
team.
We're
like
a
family
now.
The
best
of
both
the
parts
('Singam' and
'Singam
2')
has
been
imbibed
into
'S3'.
We're
trying
to
make
the
third
part
more
interesting.
We're
in
talks
for
the
bilingual
project
with
Trivikram,
and
we're
looking
into
the
logistics
of
it,"
he
added.
Next
month,
Suriya
plans
to
make
an
official
announcement
regarding
a
new
project
with
his
wife
Jyotika.
