Actor Suriya, who essayed a triple role — namely Mani, Sethuraman and Athreya — in his recent sci-fi offering 24, was critically acclaimed for his performance. His extraordinary histrionics as the antagonist Athreya, a paraplegic stuck to a wheelchair, got a lot of appreciation.
Now, the actor, who is a philanthropist, has donated the expensive custom-made wheelchair to a foundation based at Chandigarh. The Spinal Foundation have decided to use the innovation for training of high-level quadriplegics at the new Chandigarh Spinal Rehabilita-tion Center that is being inaugurated by the Governor on July 10.
The foundation thanked Suriya’s kind gesture on their social media website — ‘This wheelchair will be used for many years ahead.’ The foundation is also looking forward for the actor’s continued support to the foundation in the future.
