Surya - I didn't think about rivalry with Vivek
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,December 02 2010]
Both Vivek and Surya have been in the world of films for close to a decade now. While Surya is a superstar down South, Vivek has proved his credentials as an actor and is making his presence felt all over again, what with his terrific act in 'Rakh Charitra'.
Now that the two would be seen together in the second instalment of this Ram Gopal Varma directed dramatic action fare, 'Rakht Charitra 2', one wonders whether the two looked at each other as on-screen rivals (though they are friends in real life). Since for Surya, this is his Bollywood flick ever, one tends to ask him if he was ever conscious of the fact that he had to stretch additionally so that he stood out?
I had to just hang on to be my character, be positive and honest. I didn't think about Vivek or for that matter what I had done in the past, Surya negates the insinuation here.
He goes on to add, I had to be passionate about this character, his thoughts, his point of view and what he felt was right in his own philosophy. I had to think about the kind of things that had happened to him, what he had gone through, how he felt he was right and how he believed what he saw.
Tell me, with so much thinking to do already, would I have had time to think about anything else, let aside any rivalry, winks Surya before signing off.
