Surya and Jyothika name their baby boy 'Dev'

Jyothika, wife of actor Surya delivered a baby boy at a private hospital at 4.03 am on 7th june 2010. The couple was married on September 11, 2006. They already have a baby girl Diya.
There was a naming ceremony conducted today where the baby boy was named 'Dev'. Dev rhymes very well with Diya.

Surya on an interview said that he is very much a family man and movies are only his next priority. He also said that Diya showers her baby brother with kisses before she leaves for her kindergarten.

Singam

Singam -First look
The forthcoming movie of Surya is 'Singam' which is directed by Hari. Surya's 25th film is packed with action, romance and comedy , all the necessary condiments in a Hari's movie. The shooting started in August 3009 and the film is expected to hit the screens in 2010.


Singam- Vijay or Surya?
There were gossips and confusions about who is acting in Singam. Originally Vijay wanted to name his movie as Singam, but the name was already registered by Hari. So Vijay wanted to take up the name 'puli' (tiger ) but that name had also been taken up, so Vijay named his film as 'vettaikkaran'.

Heroine
Anushka shetty is the heroine of Singam. Anushka entered tamil film industry in the film 'run' but did not gain much popularity. Her recent film 'Vettaikaran' with vijay has put her in the limelight. It is widely questioned that will Anushka look good as Surya's pair as she is taller than most heroines but trailers show that they are a hot pair.

Story
The story of Singam has been kept very hushhush by the crew, but it is said to be a police story with Surya as a honest (also goodlooking!) police officer who fights the smuggling activities that go on around Rameshwaram. Surya swept people particularly youngsters off their feet with his looks, attitude and style as a police officer in 'kaaka kaaka'. Expectations soar high with his second film portraying a police officer. It is expected that Hari and Surya will do justice to people's expectations.

Direction
Hari is one of the director who gives 'satisfaction guarenteed' films in kollywood. His earlier police film 'Saami' was a box office hit. His films with Surya, 'Aaru' and 'Vel' were fairly successful. his latest film was Seval with Bharath which was fairly successful. He will not disappoint the fans with 'Singam'

Shooting
The shooting of the film which started last year had taken place in Tirunelveli, courtallam, ambasamudram, Tuticorin  and later in Hyderabad and Vishakapattinam.
Other notable persons in the film are Nasser and Prakashraj. Comedy is by Vivek.

Song leaked out?

The music for the film is by Devi Sri Prasad. In this film he remixes a song from yesteryears, which is Rajinikanth's 'pothuvaha en manasu Thangam'. The song 'Singam naan singam' was leaked out by a few websites, the assistant to the music director was first suspected but now the music director has approached the cyber crime divison to seek help.

VT Vijayan is the editor and K.Kathir is the art director. Priyan handles the camera of the film.
Tamil movie Singam is being produced under the banner of Studio Green and Big pictures.

Singam movie will mark the entry of Reliance Big picture in Tamil Cinema.

Surya fans -mixed reaction to Vaaranam Aayiram

Surya's latest film 'Vaaranam Aayiram' which hit the theatres amidst great expectations has elicited a mixed reaction among his fans. Although everyone is convinced of his splendid performance in the film, some are disappointed by the fact that he has done a relatively a soft role in the film. The action sequence that has been introduced in the film also doesn't appear to merge with the main script. The picture that has exploited the acting talent has poorly done to his mass hero image.The proof for this is that this picture is being commercially overtaken by other films like thenaavattu.
Surya's fans feel that such elite English speaking roles will distance him away from the common people. Surya always known for his down to earth personality must choose those roles that are more realistic, some feel. It should be noted that being a son of Sivakumar the veteran actor has given Tamil fans a sense of belongingness toward him.
There are some fans who beleive that Surya must concentrate on mass films like those of Vijay and Ajith. When done so he has a good chance of beating them as a mass hero, they say. Mass heroes also make films that are commercially more successful. They insist that he must satisfy the overall audience, other than the elite city dwellers.
Female fans have a different opinion though. They feel that Surya has to stick to such posh roles. They feel that it suits his personality. It should be noted that Surya has a huge female fan following , particularly after his devoted love afair and marriage with Jyothika.
