This is one of the awards that everyone hopes for winning but very few do it. And now actor Tamil Suriya Sivakumar has won the coveted national award for the best actor for Soorarai Pottru at the 68th National Film Awards.
This will definitely be one of the most important moments in the life of Actor Suriya, given how difficult it is to have worked since his film debut in Tamil Cinema in 1997 at the age of 22 in Nerrukku, the production of Mani Ratnam. With 49 films under his belt for the past 25 years and three Tamil Nadu State film awards, Suriya has survived and worked on his expertise since he set foot to the film set in 1996.
The journey of Singam’s star to be a star has become an interesting, because he has never used his famous father’s name to get a film – even in the early years of his career.
When entering the industry with the film Mani Ratnam is a great spring board, the next failure for the next four years taught him that being a star child is not automatically translated to be successful.
The actor has admitted that he struggled with low self -confidence, and did not practice in acting, dancing or acting, felt quite difficult when he continued. But those who work with him, such as the director of Bala, instill his confidence and teach him the nuances of appearing in front of the camera and he jumped.
With his breakthrough performance as a former inmate at Nandha Director of Bala in 2011, the audience realized that Suriya was indeed a complete actor. This is a turning point in his career, when he goes to win his first Tamil Nadu state film award for the best actor.
Kaakha Kaakha stars no longer want to work in run-of-the-mill films but want a script where he can show his acting skills. So, he began to look for a different script with a good director like Gautham Vasudev Menon, A.R. Murugadoss, Mani Ratnam, Hari and, of course, Bala. Maybe, he unconsciously bases his similar career choices to people from an actor who he said inspired – Kamal Haasan.
Like Kamal, Suriya began to look for challenging roles, refused to get stereotypes and try as many diverse genres and characters as possible. While on the one hand, Suriya made films full of action such as Ghajini and Singam, on the other hand, he signed a romantic contract such as Sillunu Oru Kadhal and Vaaranam Aayiram.
In recent years Suriya’s career has taken a significant jump, with the type of manuscript that he chose such as Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim. Both of these films make India pay attention to the Tamil star who wants his work to talk for him.
Suriya also began to actively produce and present films, providing opportunities for writers and directors who have novels and ideas. Pandemi opened the OTT floodgates and Suriya took the opportunity, releasing Soorarai Pottru and Jai Bhim directly at the Amazon Prime Video.
For someone who wanders into the world of film with unsafe luggage and reservation, today Suriya has become a star and one of the best actors in the Tamil Cinema and also one of the best humans in the film business. His father Sivakumar was one of the most popular Tamil actors from the 1960s to the 1990s, emerged in more than 190 films, and the values he had instilled in him was proven in the way Suriya carried out his professional and personal life. His father always made him down to earth. The result: Suriya enters the film business knowing that every Friday release brings success or failure, and whatever results, life, and hard work must take place.
Like his father Sivakumar, Suriya is a generous. He has donated a large amount of money to various causes regularly. His father carried out an educational trust for 35 years, and to expand the scope, Suriya began to make a foundation to fund appropriate students who did not have the means to get education and become successful in life. He believes that someone needs to give back to the community and this goes deep in their family.
Like his father, Suriya is also a family man and this is one of the key aspects that Tamil’s audience likes about him. Married to the popular actress Jyotika, she keeps her personal life personal and enjoying time with her wife and children from the camera spotlight. He believes the films and appearances must be talked about his personal life. And that’s how he always prefers, avoiding the media.
Unlike many actors who refused to discuss their failures, Suriya admitted that he had seen many ups and downs in his career. He praised a strong fanbase and the audience for supporting him throughout his career and had stated that their trust and trust in him that made him want to make a good film as a repayment of their love.
And love him what they do; Every film release sees the support and outpouring of extraordinary love on social media. Many of his fans wondered if he would have entered politics – like other Tamil actor – thanks to the stands he took about related problems like Neet, but he always said it was not the choice he considered. For now, he is happy to be an upright citizen who will defend the rights of the people and vote to those who cannot speak.
2022 has been truly a year of Suriya, with the appearance of his star cameo at Vikram Kamal Haasan as Rolex and he became the first Tamil actor to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Cherry on the cake now is a coveted national award for the best actor. Some people may say with this, Suriya has achieved many things in his career but for those who know him, this is just the beginning.
