Suriya is brimming with joy as congratulatory messages are pouring in from various quarters for his stupendous performance as a father and son in 'Varanam Aayiram'.

Crediting the success to Goutham Menon, Suriya says, 'we initially began the movie thinking of finishing it in six months. As days progressed and the movie took shape, we started investing our maximum effort to give our best and you see the toil of labor on screen'.

Suriya is elated at veteran actress Saroja Devi's praise that Suriya resembled Sivaji Ganesan doing such complex role with consummate ease.

Was he aiming for a National award doing the movie? A definite no comes from Suriya. After watching Kamal Haasan's dedication to get his ten acts right in Dasavatharam, I was inspired to try something different. Thankfully Varanam Ayiram paved way for my aspiration'.

On working with K V Anandh in ‘Ayan’, Suriya says, 'I should thank Anandh sir. ‘Ayan’ has come up well. He is a great cameraman and also a brilliant director.'
