Suriya is an Indian actor and film producer who works primarily in Tamil cinema .[ 1] [ 2] He made a commercially successful cinematic debut in Vasanth 's Nerrukku Ner (1997).[ 3] [ 4] After few critical and commercial failures, Suriya collaborated with Vasanth again in Poovellam Kettuppar (1999), his first film with his future wife Jyothika .[ 3] [ 5]
In 2001, Suriya starred in Bala 's Nandha as an ex-convict trying to find his place in society.[ 6] The film was critically acclaimed and became a turning point in his career.[ 7] [ 8] His roles as a police officer in Gautham Vasudev Menon 's Kaakha Kaakha (which became his first blockbuster) and a con artist in Bala's Pithamagan , established him as one of Tamil cinema's leading actors.[ 3] [ 9] Suriya's performances in both films were praised, winning him a Best Actor nomination for the former and the Best Supporting Actor for Pithamagan at the 51st Filmfare Awards South .[ 10] The following year, he played dual roles —a hunchback and a college student—in Perazhagan . Suriya's performance was again praised, and he received his first Filmfare Best Actor award .[ 6] [ 11] He was also acclaimed for his performance as a student leader in Mani Ratnam 's Aayutha Ezhuthu (2004).[ 6]
In 2005, Suriya starred in three films: Maayavi , Ghajini and Aaru . His performance in Ghajini as a businessman with anterograde amnesia was widely praised,[ 8] [ 12] and was commercially successful.[ 13] Maayavi and Aaru were moderately successful.[ 14] [ 15] Suriya then appeared in Vaaranam Aayiram (2008).[ 16] His dual role as father and son earned him another Filmfare Best Actor award.[ 17] Suriya's next three films were Ayan (2009), Aadhavan (2009) and Singam (2010). The latter, which was his most commercially successful film spawned two sequels: Singam II (2013) and Si3 (2017).[ 18] [ 19] [ a] Suriya made his Hindi and Telugu cinema debuts in Ram Gopal Varma 's gangster film Rakta Charitra 2 (2010).[ 3] [ 20]
Suriya then played the Buddhist monk and creator of Shaolin Kung Fu , Bodhidharma , and his fictional descendant Aravind, in 7aum Arivu (2011).[ 21] [ 22] His only 2012 release was Maattrraan , in which he played conjoined twins .[ 23] In 2015, Suriya released 36 Vayadhinile , the first film from his 2D Entertainment production company.[ 24] He played three roles for the first time in Vikram Kumar 's successful science fiction film 24 (2016).[ 25] His performance won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actor .[ 26] [ 27] Following Thaana Serndha Koottam (2018) and Kaappaan (2019), he worked in the acclaimed direct-to-streaming films Soorarai Pottru (2020) and Jai Bhim (2021).[ 28] For Soorarai Pottru , Suriya won the National Film Award for Best Actor .[ 29]
