A humble beginning and early films built the foundation of Syria
Actor Suriya made his debut in the film ‘Nerrukku Ner’ in 1997. He started gaining recognition in the film industry, especially for films that depicted family characters that emphasized family values, like ‘Poovellam Kettuppar’, which showed his aptitude towards family values.
Suriya gained a large family audience and his emerging star appeal. He successfully adapted and performed well in films that depicted the softer aspects of family life.
Performance-based Syrian films
Suriya’s career improved after releasing films in which he presented distinguished and talented performances. Films like ‘Nandha’, ‘Pithamagan’ and ‘Perazhagan’ gave him the opportunity to shift into strong roles, and he succeeded in a dual role with two different characters.
One of his most beloved characters is that of the brave police officer in ‘Kaakha Kaakha’, a character that has won acclaim from distinguished observers, critics and the general public. Varanam Aayiram is Suriya’s most important film, as he starred in the lead role from childhood to old age due to his penchant for character based films.
Blockbuster movies that elevated Syria to the top league
Suriya’s career reached its peak with hit films. His film ‘Ghajini’ was a hit that made him popular outside Tamil Nadu.
During these years he also produced stylish masala action films like ‘Ayan’ and the blockbuster cop serial ‘Singam’. At the same time, he also did some experimental films. He gave a unique performance as conjoined twins in the movie ‘Maattraan’. He experimented with ideas and concepts that most actors of Tamil cinema were not keen on.
