At the Kanguva press conference, Suriya thanked Aamir Khan for introducing him to the film industry after Ghajini.
Actor Suriya is all set to bring his period action film Kanguva to the big screen. The film also stars Bobby Deol in the role of a villain and Disha Patani in a pivotal role. At a recent press conference held for the film in Mumbai, the actor praised Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan.
When Surya was called a superstar at the event, he immediately said that this title can only be given to Rajinikanth. “I am not a superstar, Rajini sir is a superstar. There can be only one superstar and that is him.”
He later recalled his 27 years in the industry and how Aamir Khan brought him recognition. Surya said, “I never thought I would come into the film industry, even five days before facing the camera and despite my father being in the industry. I am grateful for everyone’s love and it all started with Aamir (Khan) sir talking about me to the media, telling them that I was the guy who acted in the original version of Ghajini. He introduced me to the entire fraternity and media across the country. Thank you very much to him for bringing my name out there. Ghajini and Singham were very important films for me.”
Talking about working with Bobby Deol in Kanguva, Surya revealed that the actor had signed on for the film even before Animal. “Whenever I feel scared, I get into it. It wasn’t easy to stand up to Bobby sir and challenge him. I had to muster all my courage and conviction to stand up to him. It’s been 27 years, and I am thankful to all my directors for keeping me relevant,” he said.
Surya’s film Kanguva is directed by Siva and produced by K. Gnanavel Raja. It will be released in theatres on November 14.
