Suriya on his new film

IT���S just getting bigger and better for Suriya. After Varanam Aayiram and the stupendous success of Ayan, he���s now set to storm the box office with Aadhavan this Diwali.
Suriya, who co-stars with Nayanthara, will be playing an anti-hero for the first time in this film. ���I essay the role of a contract killer while the story deals with my life as it unfolds in Kolkata.But there���s no blood or gory scenes as the action sequences are very slick,��� says Suriya.
The actor has teamed up with KS Ravikumar of Dasavatharam fame in this venture and guarantees that it���s a full-on entertainment flick. ���And in a Ravikumar film, every scene conveys a different mood. Having worked with all the biggies, including Kamal and Rajni sir, he also knows how to cater to different kinds of audiences. We���ve even set our own benchmarks ��� Ravikumar with Dasavatharam and I, an Ayan,��� he explains.
The buzz is that Suriya does a Benjamin Button in the film ��� have they been inspired by the Brat Pitt-starrer? ���The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was about ageing backwards. Aadhavan doesn���t deal with such a subject. There���s a sequence in the film in which I play a 10-year-old. It���s a flashback portion and it was quite challenging for a 34-year-old to play that age!��� he
laughs.
While trade circles were abuzz with the news that another top star���s film, Vijay���s Vettaikaran, will also hit screens on the same day as Aadhavan, Suriya clarifies that the film has been postponed by three weeks. Which leaves the actor to compete with Jayam Ravi���s Peranmai and Namitha���s Jaganmohini. ���I���m not competing with Namitha or anybody else. Every film-maker makes movies hoping to strike gold at the BO. I wish them the best too. As for Aadhavan, it���s a big-budget film, so yes, we want it to be screened in good theatres,��� says Suriya.
There are more exciting projects for this Kollywood star. He plays a pukka village cop ��� his second after the hit Kaakha Kaakha ��� in Hari���s Singam. After which is Ram Gopal Varma���s Raktha Charithra, his B-town debut. ���It���ll go on the floors in February or March and will be released in two parts of two hours each,��� he says. But he confesses that he���s not looking at settling down in Mumbai. ���I love Chennai and it���s the Tamil audience who���ve made me what I am today. I���m just doing a Hindi film because I admire some technicians there and have always wanted to work with them. No full-fledged career in Hindi for me,��� he shares. Suriya���s also looking forward to working with his Ghajini director Murugadoss in a trilingual next year. ���It���ll be in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, and we���ll finalise the script soon,��� he says.
The actor recently sprung a surprise on fans when wife Jothika and he starred in an ad. Is there a film being planned with the two of them? ���Sure, it was a special moment when Jo and I worked together. I���ve always felt that Jo is a better actor than I. But now, I think her priority is our daughter Diya,��� concludes Suriya.
