On Wednesday, an emotional Suriya wrote on his Twitter page that he owes his career to his fans. “The last 20 years of my cinematic journey was about attaining the unachievable. Yet you made it all possible for me. Your applause motivated me to raise the bar, your thumbs down helped me to learn better, your support drove me to go beyond cinema (referring to his non-profit charitable organization Agaram foundation). Above all, your love kept this engine chugging. I owe you my life for the last 20 years of my travel and for the many more miles I need to make. Thanks one and all.
