SJ Suryah Shares About His Frustration When His Film Starring Amitabh Bachchan Dropped; Says 'I Was Broken..'

SJ Surya About His Dropped Film Starring Amitabh Bachchan: Actor SJ Surya has recently shared about many incidents including his dropped film starring Amitabh Bachchan and being criticized as a clown. This video is now going viral on social media.

SJ Surya is a famous director of Tamil cinema. Later he has become a full-time actor and is currently experimenting various chracters in his performance. He said, "I went to do a film with Amitabh Bachchan sir. But the film stopped halfway through. It doesn't matter if we never see a fruit. It doesn't matter if it's not available at all.

Cried Like A Child

The picture stopped before I could taste the fruit and eat it. My target was that a Tamilian went all over India and proved himself in that film. I have been fighting for it for five years. A film was set for that and Amitabh Bachchan was brought in and the shooting took place for ten days. But the film stopped. Do you know when small children roll down on the ground and cry? I fell down and cried like that. I couldn't take it.

I was broken saying that why is the Lord giving us so much pain, we did it just to work. But the Lord then opened a door and gave me good pictures. God has lifted me to the top in the directorial profession. But I wanted to reach the top in the acting industry. For that I fell down, got beaten and bled, got up again with bandages and now I'm running.

They Called Me A Clown

New and Anbe Aaruyire established me as an actor. I directed myself in those films. Those films have 100% reach to the fans. But the biggest legends in the film industry said 'Why is he acting? He is acting ridiculously like a clown.'

When I went to other directors I realized that I am not a trained actor. That's when I clearly understood that being a coach is different from being an athlete. Well then, I acted in the film 'Isai' after understanding what needs to be done to become a good actor and after 'Iravi' came subsequent films and now I am acting regularly."
