24
is
2015-released
Tamil
science
fiction
thriller,
which
had
talented
actor
Suriya
in
the
lead
role.
The
movie,
which
was
directed
by
Vikram
Kumar
has
been
considered
as
one
of
the
best
time
travel
film
ever
made
in
Indian
cinema.
Lead
actor
Suriya
essayed
triple
roles
in
24,
as
Sethuraman,
Athreya,
and
Mani.
The
actor
was
widely
appreciated
for
his
exceptional
performance
in
the
movie,
especially
in
the
role
of
Athreya.
Let
us
see
who
would
fit
into
the
main
characters
of
24,
if
it
is
remade
in
Malayalam....
Prithviraj
as
Mani/Sethuraman/Athreya
There
is
no
better
choice
other
than
Prithviraj
for
the
roles
of
Mani,
the
watch
mechanic,
genius
scientist
Sethuraman,
and
the
devilish
Athreya.
We
are
sure
that
Prithvi
can
handle
all
the
three
roles
with
the
same
ease.
Keerthy
Suresh
as
Sathya
Keerthy
Suresh's
super
cute
looks
and
charming
screen
presence
make
her
the
perfect
choice
for
the
role
of
Mani's
love
interest
Sathya,
played
by
Samantha
in
the
original.
Nithya
Menen
as
Priya
We
really
don't
have
to
think
of
an
actress
other
than
Nithya
Menen
to
play
the
role
of
Priya,
the
wife
of
Sethuraman
and
biological
mother
of
Mani.
Nithya
can
undoubtedly
reprise
her
role,
if
the
movie
is
remade
in
Malayalam.
Lena
as
Sathyabhama
Versatile
actress
Lena
will
be
a
good
choice
the
role
of
Mani's
foster
mother
Sathyabhama,
played
by
Saranya
in
the
original.
The
character
demands
an
actress
who
can
play
both
the
youth
and
aged
stages,
and
Lena
will
be
able
to
play
it
to
near
perfection.
24,
which
marked
third
Tamil
outing
of
director
Vikram
Kumar,
was
initially
offered
to
National
award
winning
actor
Vikram.
Popular
actress
Ileana
D'cruz
was
roped
in
to
play
the
role
of
Sathya.
But
Vikram
opted
out
of
the
project
citing
the
creative
differences
with
the
director
as
the
reason.
Later,
director
Vikram
Kumar
officially
announced
that
the
project
has
been
shelved
and
assured
that
he
will
relaunch
the
project
with
a
new
actor
and
team.
In
2014,
actor
Suriya
decided
to
produce
the
project
for
his
banner
2D
Entertainment,
and
play
the
lead
role.
24,
which
hit
the
theatres
on
May
5th,
2016
entered
the
100-Crore
club
within
just
the
first
18
days
of
its
release.
