Surya strikes with Aaru! It took more than a decade, but
so what? With Ghajini's stupendous success, Surya, after a
ten-year wait, has been catapulted into the big league and joins
the Tamil topstar club, whose members are Vijay, Vikram and
Ajith.
Somehow, it is action films that transform heroes to
superheroes, and Surya was a victim of the same pattern. It was
his role as a cool big cop in Gowtham Menon's Kakha Kaakha that
made Surya a heartthrob for youngsters. With Ghajini, he has
become a major Tamil hero.
For the last one year or so, Surya had been working relentlessly
to tone up his body for Ghajini. He also needed a clean-shaven
look in the second half of the film. To keep his new look a
secret, the otherwise friendly Surya stopped appearing at public
functions. All the hard work has finally paid off with critics
and people raving about his performance and new avatar.

If he was a suave businessman in Ghajini, he is a street rowdy
who speaks Madras Thamizh in his next film, Aaru, produced by
director Saran, of Gemini fame. Aaru is Saran's first production
under his Gemini Productions banner. The film is being directed
by Hari, who has given the huge commercial hit, Saami, with
Vikram.
Surya's heroine in the film is Trisha, also the heroine in Saami.
Trisha has, of late been quite busy in Telugu cinema, and was
not seen much in Tamil roles. The result: actresses like
Nayanthara and Asin conquered her top spot. With Aaru, she is
expected to take back her position in the Tamil industry as the
number one heroine.. |
