After mesmerizing the audience with a world-class performance in Spyder, SJ Suryah has grabbed a spot in every Tamil cinema fan's heart. Now he is portraying the villain role in Vijay's Mersal and is also playing the protagonist in Selvaraghavan's Nenjam Marappathillai and Ashwin Saravanan's Iravakaalam, but at one period, he was one of the most successful directors in Tamil cinema. He attained fame after directing superhits with Ajith and Vijay and also starring in a few of his directorials which were adult comedy subjects.

Recently, Behindwoods had an exclusive interview with AR Murugadoss and SJ Suryah. When AR Murugadoss was asked about SJS's directorial skills, this is what he had to say referring to his style of writing adult comedy scripts; "The kind of characters and scenes he wrote in his films were all himself and his real-life incidents. Except the scenes will be drafted in a different angle. In fact, the incidents from his life will be even more interesting, but he would write it in a way that the audience can enjoy. The famous 'Irukku Aana Illa' and even small reactions are all taken from his life."
