Suriya is no stranger to playing police officers in his films. Ardent fans of the actor remember his iconic roles in films like Singam and Kaakha Kaakha, where he played police officers, and the films became superhits. The actor is now gearing up for the release of Scene, and the first teaser introduced his character Inbaraaj as a tough police officer. However, here he is quirky and unpredictable, not seen in uniform even when he takes on an investigation.
What Jithu Madhavan said
Writer and director Jithu Madhavan has now reacted to Suriya's look in Scene and shared how his character in Scene differs from those fans have seen in his previous films like Singam and Kaakha Kaakha. During an interaction with Galatta Plus, he said, “There are so many things I cannot say now [before release]. Being an officer is a job. The character is totally different. Even his character ACP Anbuselvan and here in Scene, they are just the job. The situations and the challenges he faces are different. The way he approaches a problem is different. The main thing which is different in Scene is he approaches the problem in a different way than any other police. He takes on that challenge, and that is the main aspect.”
On set with Suriya
The director shared that Suriya is very involved in the process of creating the film's character. The character is presented in a way that suggests they do not care about the process of getting ready. Jithu shared that Suriya is extremely aware of the performance he will create with the character and has managed to make the character feel new and fresh, so that any scene will not feel repetitive compared to what he has done before. “He was very free. I cannot handle stardom, but he understood it. During narration, he was asking me things, and I answered in one word. He stayed with me, and he put in the effort. The entire shoot was also in that way. There were a lot of changes in the script, and he was so understanding with it, in terms of dialogue, too. He memorised a four-page dialogue just before the shot, and he learnt it so quickly,” he added.
