"'24' will be a good summer treat. It will be like a Disney movie that can be watched by one and all," he said.

Meanwhile, in one of his latest interviews, Suriya has revealed that Vikram Kumar penned the character of Athreya (antagonist) with lot of care as this particular character is close to his heart.
