Making his debut at 22 with director Vasant’s film Nerukku Ner (1997), Suriya never looked back. Mani Ratnam was the producer of the film. During an interview, the actor revealed that he worked hard to make his own identity and not use his father’s stardom. In the beginning, I had a lot of problems because of lack of confidence, memory power, fighting and dancing skills, but later I learned everything.
