Suriya surprised his 'Thaana Serndha Koottam' director Vignesh Shivan by gifting him a brand new luxury Toyota Innova car.  The director had thanked his hero stating that "It takes a big heart to encourage a beginner like me. Not sure if I deserve this much love frm u sir! Thank you for this opportunity and this moment."

One of the assistant directors of Vignesh Shivan has revealed that some of them had family problems and the director had put a word to Suriya during the shooting.  The dedicated actor immediately gave a huge amount  to the entire team of ADs working in 'Thaana Serndha Koottam'.  This is really a huge gesture from Suriya considering the fact that most assistant directors are strugglers who lead a hand to mouth existence in Kollywood.  Kudos!
