Santosh Sivan tells us, “After we wrapped up the day’s
shoot, the team called me to hunt for a few locations for the film’s next
schedule. I told them that I was tired and would look into it later. But, they
compelled me to take a look for a couple of spots and so I went with them. We
went to a place first but director Lingusamy said that he didn’t like it. At
that juncture, I had no clue about what they’d planned. Then they took me to a
hotel where I saw Suriya and the entire crew waiting for me. The best part of
the party was the surprise element — I really didn’t know how and when Suriya
planned it, as I was very much around him during the shoot. That was just
cool!”
The actor also organized a special dance show for the
ace cinematographer. He adds, “They performed some of the hit songs from my
films and I enjoyed all of them, especially Chaiyya Chaiyya. I can’t thank
Suriya enough for this surprise.”
