South superstar Suriya needs to special introduction. He is currently one of the best actors in the Indian film industry and you have to agree. In his career spanning almost 25 years, he has delivered path-breaking performances in films like Vaaranam Aayiram, Ghajini, Jai Bhim, Soorari Pottru and others. Apart from his acting skills, the thing that fans like the most about the National award-winning actor is that he experiments with his looks in almost every film.
One such appearance of Suriya which gathered the audience’s attention was his child look in the 2009 film Aadhavan. But do you know how the makers created Suriya’s teenage look 15 years ago? No, it was not AI.
Recently, during an interview, the director of Aadhavan, K.S Ravikumar shared deets about how Suriya’s child look was created in the film. He said, “The total budget for the film was Rs 21 crore. We asked an animation company about Suriya’s teenage character in this film and they said that a 2-minute scene will cost around Rs 8 Crores. As it didn’t fit our budget, he roped in a young boy for the scene and shot with a green matt behind him. After this, we talked to the animation company about how much it would cost to fit the actor’s face on this boy’s body. For that, they asked Rs 28 Lakhs, which was in our budget.”
“Later when Suriya came for the dubbing of the film, he was surprised to see his teenage look,” the director added.
The film also starred Nayanthara, Vadivelu, Murali, Saroja Devi and Rahul Dev in prominent roles.
Apart from Aadhavan, director KS Ravikumar is also known for helming films like Lingaa, Jai Simha, Varalaru, Padayappa, Natpukkaga, Nattamai and more.
Meanwhile, talking about Suriya’s work front, he will be next seen in director Siva’s highly-anticipated pan-India film Kanguva which also stars Disha Patani and Bobby Deol in lead roles.
Reportedly, the makers of Kanguva will be releasing the film’s official trailer on August 12. An official announcement from the makers about the same is still awaited.
Kanguva is set to hit the theatres on October 10 in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
