This news is informed to his son Surya ( Surya Sivakumar) who is on a military mission traveling in a helicopter. After the doctor checks him, he is reported dead after a few moments of grief with his wife Malini ( Simran Bagga), daughter Shreya, and daughter-in-law Priya (Divya Spandana). Once he reaches home he vomits profuse amounts of blood and is kept to bed rest. The film begins with an elderly person named Krishnan ( Surya Sivakumar) returning home after a haircut. The film won many awards including the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil. The film was produced by Venu Ravichandran and has musical score by Harris Jayaraj, making Vaaranam Aayiram his final project with Gautham Menon before the formal break-up of their partnership. As a tribute to the father of the director, the film opened in several countries with critical acclaim. Vaaranam Aayiram illustrates the theme of how a father often came across his son's life as a hero and inspiration, whose death was deeply mourned in the end. It was dubbed and released in Telugu as Surya S/O Krishnan. The film had been under production since late 2006, and was released worldwide on November 14, 2008. Surya Sivakumar acts in dual lead roles, while Sameera Reddy, Divya Spandana and Simran Bagga also play roles in the film. Maybe, one with Murugadoss.Vaaranam Aayiram ( Tamil: வாரணம் ஆயிரம் English: Thousand Elephants) is a 2008 Tamil romantic drama film written and directed by Gautham Menon. Then I will work with K S Ravikumar, Hari and Myshkin. K V Anand's Ayan will be the next one slated for release. His role in Rangeela crossed my mind when I did Pithamagan - the ruffian character. Especially the wardrobes and the elegance associated with it. Dil Chahta Hai was an inspiration when I played the role of that business tycoon in Ghajini. I should say I have been inspired by his films. But everytime I am trying to do that, it keeps coming back." That was a huge compliment from an actor whom I adore. This is what he said: "Surya, I am trying to forget what you have done in the Tamil version. What Aamir Khan told him about his role in Ghajini He struggled a lot and I am sure and it will pay dividends. And to me it is the toughest role - physically - Aamir has ever played.
I have full confidence in the Aamir Khan-Murugadoss team. The improved technology in the last few years will make it a terrific movie. Thus, Murugadoss has the chance and the time to rectify any mistakes he would have committed in the Tamil version. They have got so much time to shoot the film. The Aamir Khan factor is a big difference. I am sure it will be 200 percent better than the Tamil version. He taught me cinema was a serious affair. The films which I have done with Bala sir - both Pithamagan and Nanda � were like study classes. Nanda changed my approach and perspective about cinema. It was not just a mere turning point in my career. There would have been no Surya without Bala sir's Nanda. I won't term it different, but it is unique. It is because of the story that was being narrated. Vaaranam Aayiram is very very special film not because of director Goutham Menon or actor Surya.
True, I have had Nanda, Kaakka Kaakka and many other films, but the physical hardship I went through for this movie was unparalleled. It is till date the toughest role I have played. So the focus was on body language and all. There is no grammar attached to the old-age roles. Even at 45+, there are people who show no signs of ageing. I played the role of an old man - that was very challenging.Īgeing, nowadays, does not mean a face with wrinkles. There were so many dimensions to the roles. It is also the toughest film I have ever been involved in. Hours before he took a flight to Chennai, to reach there in time for release of his most-awaited film, a nervous but confident Surya told Rajaneesh Vilakudy that Vaaranam Aariyam is the toughest film he has ever acted in. In Mumbai for the shoot of K V Anand's film Ayan, Surya spoke exclusively to about his new Tamil film Vaaranam Aariyam and the Hindi version of his Ghajini being made by Aamir Khan. And Ghajni proved that the industry will 'remember' him forever. If Bala rediscovered Surya the actor in Nanda, then Goutam Menon made him a 'shooting star' in Kaakka Kaakka. Yet, at every stage of his career, top directors lent a helping hand. Unlike some of his illustrious fellow-actors who took the elevator to success, for Surya it has been slow but steady climb.
