Filmography

Suryah's style of film making is unique, taking the viewer in to the plot itself with a fantastic narrative of the story. His first film, Vaali with Ajit as the hero in Tamil, was a runaway hit. It had an adult theme and went off well with the audience.

Suryah instantaneously followed it up with a multi-lingual, Kushi. The script was a huge money-spinner in Tamil and Telugu but fared well in Hindi. Without much doing for almost 2 years, the director sprang a surprise with another blockbuster, New. This time Suryah had acted the lead role, directed and even produced the film!! The film's opening is considered to be one of the biggest in Tamil cinema in recent years, with approximately Rs.1 crore being collected at the first two days at the box-office. The film's music by noted composer, A.R.Rahman had created waves in the audio market. However, the movie was banned by the Madras High Court in August 2005, an year after it collected huge revenues in the box office!.
