Surya, who likes to make experiments with performing variety roles is busy with the shooting of ‘Rakta Charitra’ directed by Ram Gopal Varma. It is a bilingual film to be made both in Tamil and Telugu.
It is already known that the movie is based on the real life story of Paritala Ravi and Maddela Cheruvu Suri. Actor Surya on speaking about the film says “I play Maddelacheruvu Suri, an intense character, and a rival of Vivek Oberoi, who essays the role of Paritala Ravi. Suri is the only one in the story who’s still alive. I haven’t met him yet, but I’ve tried to model my body language based on the narrative given by director Ram Gopal Varma.”
He further adds “I didn’t take up Rakta Charitra with an intention to enter Bollywood. It’s just that when Ramu sir told me about the script, I was very impressed. The movie is so intense and has no heroine, songs or dances. So, Ramu sir calls it a men’s film. And for both Ramu sir and me, the film has come at an important stage in our careers; RGV has the experience to direct such an intense film after so many milestones and I can afford to experiment with such a character.”
On making his debut in Hindi, Surya says “It’s about widening my reach and taking up the challenge to appeal to a pan-Indian audience. It’s a completely different set-up and ambiance. But I won’t leave Tamil cinema. Even when I accept a Hindi film, I’ll ensure it’s watchable for my fans in the south as well.”
