In an exclusive interview, Suriya described how his acting profession became successful as a result of his family’s financial obligations. He revealed how Rs 2500 Loan Made Him The Actor he is now.
On November 14, Suriya’s eagerly awaited movie Kanguva will be released. Bobby Deol and Disha Patani will play important parts in the Siva-directed film. Suriya and Siva both stopped for a light-hearted conversation amid the ongoing promotions. Suriya explained his path in the movie business and how he initially became an actor during the discussion. He also talked extensively about his first job in a textile factory in show business.
According to Suriya, he was paid 750 rupees for 15 days as a trainee intern in the textile sector. It later increased to 1,200 rupees per month. He stated, “I started off with that and worked for about two and a half to three years in the garment industry, eventually earning 8,000 rupees.”
The actor revealed that he was eager to launch his own business and had many high expectations. He continued, “I was hoping my dad would invest one crore in capital once I gained enough experience. But everything changed when I got an opportunity to act. Mani Ratnam was producing a film, and they repeatedly asked for me. Of course, being an actor’s son, I kept receiving these offers, but I never thought I’d be in the film industry. I never wanted to face the camera and never dreamt of becoming an actor.”
The actor continued by saying, “Life can change anytime,” and shared a story about his family’s financial struggles. He revealed how his mother told him about the Rs 25000 loan she took while serving him breakfast.
“She suddenly revealed that she had borrowed 25,000 rupees, and my dad didn’t know. I was surprised to hear this, considering my dad is an actor and we were dealing with financial issues like this. Mom said that our bank balance had never been more than one lakh or one and a half lakh, and Dad never insisted on his salary; he would just wait for it to come when it did. At that time, Dad hadn’t worked continuously for more than six months or ten months, and it made me realize what I was doing,” Suriya added.
Suriya claimed that before he appeared in front of the camera, he had never considered a career in acting. The Jai Bhim star went on to say, “I came into the industry for the 25,000 rupees to give back to my mom and say, “Your loan is over, and you don’t have to worry. It’s been five or six months; you don’t have to tell Dad, but this money will come, and you can close the loan.” That’s how I started my career, and that’s how I became Suriya.”
