SINGAM’S CLIMAX REVEALED

Suriya’s Singam is all set to hit the screens on May 28th and his fans can’t wait for more info on this. There has been enough news already and director Hari has revealed yet another piece of info that will give the Suriya fans another reason to expect this film.

According to Hari, Singam’s climax will begin soon after the interval. He adds that it will be the lengthiest climax ever in a movie. The second half will move so swiftly that it will have the audience at the edge of their seats.

Singam' story revealed

Director Hari has come out with a brief outline of the story of his forthcoming film 'Singam', which has Suriya playing the role of a police officer.

"Suriya plays Duraisingam, who is forced to enter the police force because of his father's wish. After joining the department, he starts loving his job," says the director.

He adds: "The silent and helpful person, who keeps to himself initially, reveals a completely different side of him when provoked by anti social elements. The remaining film is all about his transformation."

Claiming that the movie would be a mix of 'Samy' and 'Kaakha Kaakha', Hari says, "The script would never move too far away from logic. The song picturisations with Anushka are very good and should draw city audiences too."

‘Singam’ roaring up to release this May 28th. Get ready for cop action!

பாலா இயக்கத்தில் மீண்டும் சூர்யா

விஷால் ஆர்யாவை வைத்து ‘அவன் இவன்’ என்ற படத்தை இயக்கி வருகிறார் பாலா.
இதுவரை இயக்கிய படங்களை எல்லாம் சில வருடங்கள் இழுத்தடித்து வெளியிடும் பாலா இந்தப் படத்தை ஆறு மாதத்தில் முடித்து விடுவேன் என்று சபதம் போட்டுக் கொண்டு வேலை பார்த்து வருகிறார்.

இந்தப் படத்தில் விஷால், ஆர்யா என இருவர் இருக்க சூர்யாவும் இவர்களுடன் இணைகிறார். சிலநிமிடங்கள் வந்து போகும் இவரது கேரக்டர் படத்தில் பெரிய திருப்புமுனையாக இருக்குமாம்.

When Vaaranam Aayiram won a National Award for best Tamil film, I sent him a text saying this was reason enough to continue doing the other kind of cinema. K. S. Ravikumar's unabashedly commercial Aadhavan post Ayan, had many of his fans wondering if Suriya had crossed over to the dark side of formula films.

“Sure I had my lesson too,” Suriya then messaged back. “Do have a lot more responsibility now. Will be more selective.” As Singam is all set to release in the end of May, we talk about what drives his decisions.

“Hari has already assured his fans decent films. Aaru and Vel were both successes. When I was in San Francisco shooting for Vaaranam Aayiram, I thought only people in the villages watch those films. So I was surprised when I met people there who said they had seen Vel and Aaru. I found it weird because I thought they would like only films such as Kaakha Kaakha.”

Singam is not a village-based film, he clarifies. So how is the cop in Singam different from the one in Kaakha Kaakha?

“Duraisingam is not just about the cop, it's about where he started from, what his culture is, why he came to the city and his attachment to his roots. We were shooting in Theri near Thoothukudi when we came across a temple festival and there were many Landcruisers, BMWs and even a Bentley parked outside. People from the city had come there to pray. They stayed for two weeks, connected with their relatives, brought food for the villagers… I found it very touching. We moved to the city and hardly go back to the village. Hari made me want to go back to my village and meet my grandmother.”

Suriya also comes to the director's defence saying: “Hari never moves too far away from logic. The song picturisations with Anushka are very good and should draw city audiences too.”

“This film will surpass the collections from all my previous films,” he declares.

STRIVING FOR BALANCE

“We can't be too urban. A lot of people are from the middle-income group… these people need a different kind of entertainment… I am not saying any film with six songs and fights will work. Whether it is for the rural or the urban market, there must be a strong storyline, a powerful character and situation not seen before.”

“I want to maintain this balance. I shot for 30 days with RGV for Rakthacharitra (Ratthacharithram in Tamil) and now I'm moving on to Murugadoss for Ezhaam Arivu.”

Suriya shot in three different languages for Rakthacharitra. “I first did it in Tamil so that I could get the emotion and lines right and then, I would do it in Hindi and then in Telugu. We shot each scene thrice. I am able to manage Hindi.”

Ram Gopal Varma was all praise for Suriya's commitment to getting in shape for an action sequence. “He wanted me to take my shirt off. So I asked him for a little time and worked on getting more definition, a lean mean look. Not exactly a six pack. It's a hi-intensity action film, a complete men's film as RGV calls it.”

On the home front, Suriya and Jyotika are expecting another baby in June. “Before delivery, I will be in Chennai. Look forward to spending more time with Jo and the babies.”

He's a proud brother too. “I am super happy about Karthi, I like him and his movies too. He'll be playing roles much younger than mine, so no competition,” he laughs.

''இயக்குநர்களின் கனவு சூர்யா''

இயக்குநர்களின் கனவாக திகழ்கிறார் நடிகர் சூர்யா என்று பாராட்டியுள்ளார் இயக்குநர் ராம்கோபால் வர்மா.

ராம்கோபால் வர்மாவின் இயக்கத்தில் சூர்யா நடித்துள்ள படம் ரத்த சரித்ரா.இப்படத்தில் சூர்யாவுடன் தனக்கு ஏற்பட்ட அனுபவம் குறித்து பகிர்ந்து கொண்டுள்ள ராம் கோபால் வர்மா, சூர்யாவைப் புகழ்ந்துள்ளார்.

இதுகுறித்து அவர் கூறுகையில், இயக்குநர்களின் கனவாக திகழ்கிறார் சூர்யா முக பாவனைகள், கேரக்டருக்கேற்றார் போல மாற்றிக் கொள்ளக்க ூடிய அருமையான உடல் கட்டு ஆகியவற்றுடன் சிறந்த நடிகராகவும் திகழ்கிறார் சூர்யா.

பலருக்கு நல்ல உடல்வாகு இருக்கும். ஆனால் நடிப்பு வராது. சிலருக்கு நன்கு நடிக்க வரும். ஆனால் உடல்வாகு இருக்காது. சட்டையைக் கழற்றவே தயங்குவார்கள். ஆனால் சூர்யா மட்டுமே இவை இரண்டும் இணைந்த கலவையாக இருக்கிறார்.

இப்படிப்பட்ட ஒரு நடிகரை இதுவரை நான் பார்த்ததே இல்லை என்று கூறியுள்ளார் ராம் கோபால் வர்மா.
