Suriya takes selfie video on birthday with sea of fans

One video posted by a fan who was outside Suriya’s home on Wednesday morning shows fans screaming and cheering as the actor, dressed in a simple white outfit, waved at them and folded his hands. They even chanted his name to greet him, which left him looking overwhelmed.

Another video taken by Suriya from a vantage point shows just how many fans had gathered at his home. The actor took a selfie video with everyone gathered there for his birthday, blowing a flying kiss and thanking them for the love. The street outside his home is filled completely with fans, with some even scaling neighbouring walls to catch a better glimpse of him.

Suriya's recent work

Suriya, who began his career with the 1997 film Nerrukku Ner, had only a few film releases after Etharkkum Thunindhavan in 2022. He had cameos in Kamal Haasan’s Vikram, R Madhavan’s Rocketry: The Nambi Effect, and Akshay Kumar’s Sarfira. In 2024, he played a dual role in Kanguva as the titular warrior and a bounty hunter, Francis Theodore. The film performed poorly critically and made only ₹106.25 crore worldwide on a ₹350-crore budget.

This year, he starred in Karthik Subbaraj’s Retro. The film was critically well-received, and it made ₹96.97 crore worldwide. Suriya is now shooting for RJ Balaji’s Karuppu, which will show him in two different avatars and a yet-to-be-titled film by Venky Atluri, which will mark his Telugu debut.
