Actor Suriya will be appearing in a cameo role in the upcoming Tamil film Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan, which already boasts of an ensemble featuring the likes of actors Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil.
Actors Suriya and Prabhas, who predominantly work in Tamil and Telugu films, respectively, recently extended their support to the female actor who was abducted and sexually assaulted in 2017.
Actor Suriya, who predominantly works in Tamil cinema, revealed that he might soon collaborate with Malayalam filmmaker Amal Neerad.
The political party Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) has requested theatre owners in Cuddalore district to not screen actor Suriya’s films, until he apologises for allegedly showing the Vanniyar community in a poor light in his 2021 film Jai Bhim.
Etharkkum Thunindhavan, starring Suriya, is set to hit the big screens on March 10, and addressing a press meet in Chennai on Wednesday, the actor said that it was a special day for him as a film of his is opening in theatres again after nearly 2.5 years.

Actor Suriya, who also produces films under 2D Entertainment, revealed that the banner has more than 20 content ideas in the works in partnership with Amazon Prime Video, in an exclusive interview with Variety.
Earlier, speaking to Silverscreen India, film observer and writer Stalin Rajangam had said, “What we need to observe is the pattern of controversies that are thrown at films like these that talk about the oppressed. “Jai Bhim is playing a big role in spreading this necessary message about how the oppressed are treated in society,” said J Balasubramaniam, a faculty member of the journalism and science department at Madurai Kamaraj University. “Just keeping a title like Jai Bhim, that too for a film headlined by a popular star, is itself quite progressive for Tamil cinema, which has had films named after castes in the past.
The Vanniyar Sangam on Thursday wrote a letter to the Directorate of Film Festivals, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, and the Information and Public Relations Department, asking them not to consider Jai Bhim, actor Suriya’s recently-released Tamil film, for any recognition or appreciation.
Shortly after the Vanniyar Sangam sent a legal notice to the makers of Suriya-starrer Jai Bhim seeking Rs 5 crore compensation for allegedly showing the community in a poor light, several noted film personalities, including filmmaker Vetri Maaran and actor Siddharth, have come out in support of the actor using the hashtag #WeStandWithSuriya on social media.
Security at actor Suriya’s residence in T Nagar in Chennai has been beefed up following the controversies around the actor’s recently released film Jai Bhim.
Members of the Kuravar tribal community staged a protest outside the residence of Suriya in Chennai on Thursday, claiming that the actor-producer’s recently-released film Jai Bhim shows their community in a poor light.
Actor-producer Suriya, who was last seen in Jai Bhim, responded on Thursday to questions raised by politician Anbumani Ramadoss on the authenticity of the film and allegations that it shows the Vanniyar community in a poor light.
The makers of Jai Bhim, the recently-released Suriya starrer, have digitally altered a scene featuring a calendar carrying a symbol that denotes a particular caste and replaced it with the image of a Hindu god, in order to avoid communal dispute.
In a courtroom scene, when a forensic doctor mentions finding chilli powder on the body of an accident victim, the film, in extreme close shots, demonstrates the police using the powder on a civilian.But the phrase captures the film’s objective – to inform the viewers of the atrocities committed by the larger society on the impoverished minority communities, and more importantly, to instil the hope that truth and justice will eventually prevail, thanks to the work of good people.
Actor Suriya and director Bala will reunite for a new project, almost two decades after their last collaboration, the actor announced on Thursday.
