Sivakumar Says Suriya Now Leads The Family: ‘For Many Years, I Looked After Them, But Now…'
Last Updated: Veteran actor Sivakumar shares how son Suriya has taken over family responsibilities after becoming a successful star. While actor Suriya is immersed in the making of his upcoming film Suriya46 with director Venky Atluri, it's his father Sivakumar's heartfelt comments that have recently drawn attention. Speaking to Cinema Express, the veteran actor reflected on the evolution of their family dynamic, marking a symbolic transition in leadership. 'Once, I was the one guiding the family," Sivakumar said. 'I ensured Suriya got his education, supported him through his early job, and watched him rise as a hero. But now, he is the one who leads us all. We move forward under his guidance." The remarks, both proud and poignant, shed light on Suriya's role not just as a leading man in Tamil cinema but as the emotional and moral anchor of his household. Sivakumar, a celebrated figure in Tamil cinema since his debut in 1965's Kaakum Karangal, starred in nearly 200 films before stepping away from the limelight in 2008. Today, he continues to make public appearances, often lending his voice to social causes and literary events. Suriya, meanwhile, was last seen on screen in Retro, a romantic action drama helmed by Karthik Subbaraj. He played Paari, the foster son of a mob boss raised to be a weapon of destruction. But when love enters his life in the form of Rukmini (played by Pooja Hegde), Paari yearns to leave violence behind. The film charts his emotional transformation and the trials he faces in rediscovering his own humanity. Retro also featured Joju George, Jayaram, and Nassar in pivotal roles. Looking ahead, Suriya is gearing up for Karuppu, a commercial entertainer said to revolve around a vigilante fighting against systemic injustice. Directed by RJ Balaji, the film will see him share screen space with Trisha Krishnan. Additionally, the Kanguva actor is actively shooting for Venky Atluri's upcoming family drama, where he stars alongside Jana Nayagan breakout Mamitha Baiju. From his father's steady hands to his own powerful presence, Suriya's journey continues to be one of transformation—both on screen and at home. First Published:

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jyotika (@jyotika) Suriya will next be seen in the Tamil action-thriller film, Karuppu. The first look from the film was unveiled today, June 20. Though only the actor's silhouette was visible in the poster, the striking red background is enough to give you the chills. The poster for Karuppu is visually intense, immersed in a striking blood-red hue, setting a powerful and ominous tone. At the center is actor Suriya, silhouetted against the red mist, holding a large machete in a commanding pose. His stance conveys confrontation, strength, and possibly vengeance. Surrounding him are religious and ritualistic elements like tridents (trishuls) and towering statues, hinting at a deeper mythological or spiritual layer to the narrative. The smoke-filled background adds to the mystical atmosphere, while the title Karuppu, meaning 'black' in Tamil, is boldly displayed in sharp red typography, suggesting themes of darkness, intensity, and moral complexity. Dropping the poster, Suriya tagged the film's writer-director RJ Balaji, and wrote, 'Here's our #Karuppu for you..! Wishing you all happiness @RJ_Balaji (sic)." Karuppu, starring Suriya in the lead, is produced by Dream Warrior Pictures and written and directed by RJB, with cinematography by GK Vishnu and music by Sai Abhyankar. Given RJ Balaji's previous successes like Mookuthi Amman and Veetla Visesham, expectations are high that the film will strike a balance between good content with a mass appeal. It is planned for release this October during Diwali. First Published: June 29, 2025, 14:01 IST
