Tamil director-turned-actor S J Suryah is on cloud nine since he is reportedly doing a key role in much-hyped film ‘Game Changer’ starring Ram Charan Tej and being directed by Shankar. “Suryah’s role will be one of the highlights of the film and his talent will be properly utilized,’ says a source, who claims Suryah is also doing a important role in Nani’ upcoming film with director Vivek Athreya. “He is looking for meaty roles in Tollywood and only picking the ones that would showcase him in new avatar,” he adds.
No doubt, S J Suryah has surpassed Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, Saif Ali Khan(Devara), Bobby Deol (Hari Hara Veera Mallu), and Nawazuddin Siddique (Saindhav) in Tollywood by drawing Rs 10 crore for is role in Nani movie. "Suryah ratings are soaring after his rivetting performance in films like ‘‘Mark Antony’ and 'Jigarthanda DoubleX' has been flooded with offers from varied languages but he is quite choosy,' ' adds the source.
Actually, S J Suryah is known as a director in Tollywood since he made films with superstars like Pawan Kalyan(Khushi and Puli) and Mahesh Babu(Nani) and also played a menacing serial killer opposite Mahesh Babu in ‘Spyder’. "He has become busy as an actor and direction has taken a back seat," he concludes.
