EXPECTATION METER
Suriya's ambitious sci-fi 24, will have its release this week and no wonder the bookings have started and going like hot cakes. Directed by the very talented Vikram K Kumar, this time travel saga also stars Samantha and Nithya Menen, with music by AR Rahman and visuals by Thiru.
Talking excitedly about the movie to Behindwoods, Suriya said that he feels our industry must make more Disney-like films and this film has the potential to completely entertain a toddler to an elder.

Vikram K Kumar was equally excited about the film and Suriya, of course. He said, "Suriya sir is not just a gifted actor. Yes, he was born with a lot of talent but he later developed a lot of skills to become what he is now. Suriya sir used to insist that we don't talk a lot about Athreya as Kamal sir has done numerous characters like this and this one is too small. But for me, this is the first time a character penned by me would take so much time to put on the make-up (the process of transformation). We were shooting in the peak of summer and with all that make-up on, it was pure hard work. At the same time, to switch character post lunch and portray another character was a task that he carried out with ease. As a filmmaker, my role was to just sit by the monitor and enjoy his performance! I hope, in future, when somebody asks him to list the top 5 films of his career, 24 will win a spot in that list!"
