SJ Suriyah, initially known to Telugu audiences as a director, made a significant impact with his film “Kushi,” starring Pawan Kalyan. The movie was a massive success, breaking numerous records and solidifying Suriyah’s reputation in Tollywood. However, despite the initial success, he faced criticism for not delivering films of the same caliber in the years following “Kushi.”
Suriyah later reinvented himself as an actor, notably portraying the antagonist in Mahesh Babu’s “Spyder.” Although the film did not fare well at the box office, Suriyah’s performance as a psychotic killer was widely praised. This role showcased his acting prowess and opened up opportunities for him in both Kollywood and Tollywood, where he continued to take on diverse and challenging roles.
Now, SJ Suriyah is set to appear as an IPS officer in his upcoming film “Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,” starring alongside Nani. The recently released teaser highlights his versatility and intensity, portraying him as a menacing cop. This role is a significant opportunity for Suriyah to make a strong impression with a straight Telugu film after his memorable performance in “Spyder.” The blend of his character’s authoritative position with an antagonist’s traits promises to captivate audiences once again.
