Suriya: Financial Woes Sparked Acting Dream

Suriya's upcoming film, Vishwanath and Sons, a family drama directed by Venky Atluri, is set to release this Friday. The film also stars Mamitha Baiju, Raveena Tandon, and Radhika Sarathkumar.

In a recent interview, Suriya disclosed that his entry into the film industry was driven by financial challenges at home, rather than a lifelong ambition. He recalled needing to earn money for his mother, but the overwhelming love from audiences transformed his sense of responsibility into a genuine passion for cinema.

Reflecting on his personal life, Suriya expressed regret over missing significant moments in his daughter Diya's early years due to his demanding career. He emphasized his commitment to being more involved in his son Dev's childhood, drawing parallels to a scene in Vishwanath and Sons involving a baby's symbolic entry into a home.
