Jayasurya is happy to have been part of Classmates, which has witnessed a huge collection at the box-office this Onam.

Thrilled at being part of a hit movie after a long-gap, Jayasurya says, 'It's my first work with director Lal Jose and James Albert. It was a real challenge for me to play a different role from the usual lover boy roles that I have played so far. I was really fortunate to have worked with such a combination and I am grateful to him for giving me such an interesting character.'

Currently busy with enough offers in Malayalam besides a movie in Tamil, he says, 'One has to be patient and wait for right opportunities. Talent always gets recognized'.

On the young crop of artistes, he says, 'All the new comers are very talented and they have a bright future'.
