Ahead of the Oscars nominations announcement on February 8, Suriya's fans are rooting for Jai Bhim, which is one of the 276 films that are in the running in the Best Film category. The Oscars will be presented on March 27.
Etharkkum Thunindhavan, which has been produced by Sun Pictures, was originally supposed to release on February 4. However, the team chose to postpone the film's release after lockdown restrictions were imposed by the Tamil Nadu government to contain the spread of the third wave of the pandemic.
Suriya's 'Jai Bhim': The film, which tells the moving story of an upright lawyer coming to the aid of poor, defenceless people from the Irular community who have no means to stand up to the might of an inhuman police force that seeks to exploit their helplessness and commits atrocity after atrocity on them with impunity, has been winning widespread acclaim ever since it released.
Directed by Priyadarshan, Mohanlal's 'Marakkar' is one of the most expensive films in the history of Malayalam cinema. It narrates the epic tale of Kunjali Marakkar IV, a Malabar sea lord and his epic battles against the Portuguese.
Jai Bhim director TJ Gnanavel breaks down the movie narrative and how the idea was conceptualised for the special segment Scene at The Academy for the official YouTube channel of the Oscars. Jai Bhim stars Suriya, Lijo Mol Jose and Manikandan in the lead roles.
On Friday, PM Modi announced that the government has decided to repeal the three farm laws. Addressing the nation on the occasion of the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev, Modi said that in the coming Parliament session, the government will take constitutional measures to repeal the farm laws. Here's what Kamal Haasan and 'Jai Bhim' actor Suriya have to say about the same.
On Wednesday, armed security personnel were deployed at the Suriya's T Nagar residence in Chennai, following a threat call by Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) Mayiladuthurai district secretary Palanisamy for allegedly 'tarnishing' the reputation of the Vanniyar community in 'Jai Bhim' movie.
Sathyaraj, known across the country for having played the role of Kattappa in 'Baahubali', said, "Several stalwarts starting with our honourable Chief Minister M.K. Stalin have expressed appreciation for 'Jai Bhim'. There is nothing beyond that for me to say."
Jai Bhim controversy: Actor Suriya presented bank documents pertaining to a fixed deposit for a sum of Rs 15 lakh to Parvathy Ammal, on whose life the film is based. Parvathy, who met Suriya at his residence on Tuesday evening, was accompanied by leaders from Marxist Communist Party, including its State Secretary K. Balakrishnan and party member Govindan, who was with Parvathy Ammal right from the time she began her struggle for justice.
Director Vetrimaran hasn't been the only one to express support for Suriya. The entire Tamil film industry seems to have rallied behind the actor in his stand-off with the PMK, over the latter's allegations that the film 'Jai Bhim' had deliberately showcased the Vanniyar community in poor light.
According to the legal notice, actor Suriya's film Jai Bhim is claimed to have been based on a real-life incident and its storyline draws upon a decision of the Madras High Court. In one of the scenes in the movie, the notice points out, the 'Agni Kundam' (fire burning from a holy vessel) symbol of the Vanniyar Sangam is shown in the calendar behind the sub-inspector of police, who commits the atrocity.
Jai Bhim starring Suriya also showcases the talents of Prakash Raj, Rao Ramesh, Rajisha Vijayan and Lijo Mol Jose. The film is also about the struggles of certain sections of people in a divided society.
Actor-producer Jyotika known for "Kaakha Kaakha", "Kushi" and "Chandramukhi", said she went on a 70km trek in the Himalayas on the Independence Day weekend.
As part of the pact, the next four Tamil movies from Suriya’s production company 2D Entertainment will premiere on Amazon Prime Video over the next four months.
On actor Suriya's birthday on Friday, the makers of his upcoming Tamil project revealed the title of the film. The film is titled Etharkkum Thunindhavan.
Actor Suriya took to social media to release the title look of his upcoming Tamil film "Vaadi Vaasal" on Friday. The film is directed by acclaimed storyteller Vetrimaaran.
South superstar Suriya took to Twitter to make a big announcement about his blockbuster film Soorarai Pottru. The actor revealed that his film will be remade in Hindi and will be directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad herself.
South star Suriya has tested negative for COVID-19, almost two weeks after he was diagnosed with the disease, his close associate filmmaker Rajsekar Pandian said on Friday.
South actor Suriya who has been earning praises for his performance in the film 'Soorarai Pottru' has been infected with COVID-19. The sad news was shared by the actor himself on his personal Twitter handle. Soon after the tweet, the fans got worried and started showing concern on social media. The comments section was filled with prayers for him.
Tamil superstar Suriya has been in the industry for more than two decades but feels that he needs to push himself more. In fact, it is not easy for him to watch his own films again and again.
