Sivakumar Says Suriya Now Leads The Family: ‘For Many Years, I Looked After Them, But Now…'
Last Updated: Veteran actor Sivakumar shares how son Suriya has taken over family responsibilities after becoming a successful star. While actor Suriya is immersed in the making of his upcoming film Suriya46 with director Venky Atluri, it's his father Sivakumar's heartfelt comments that have recently drawn attention. Speaking to Cinema Express, the veteran actor reflected on the evolution of their family dynamic, marking a symbolic transition in leadership. 'Once, I was the one guiding the family," Sivakumar said. 'I ensured Suriya got his education, supported him through his early job, and watched him rise as a hero. But now, he is the one who leads us all. We move forward under his guidance." The remarks, both proud and poignant, shed light on Suriya's role not just as a leading man in Tamil cinema but as the emotional and moral anchor of his household. Sivakumar, a celebrated figure in Tamil cinema since his debut in 1965's Kaakum Karangal, starred in nearly 200 films before stepping away from the limelight in 2008. Today, he continues to make public appearances, often lending his voice to social causes and literary events. Suriya, meanwhile, was last seen on screen in Retro, a romantic action drama helmed by Karthik Subbaraj. He played Paari, the foster son of a mob boss raised to be a weapon of destruction. But when love enters his life in the form of Rukmini (played by Pooja Hegde), Paari yearns to leave violence behind. The film charts his emotional transformation and the trials he faces in rediscovering his own humanity. Retro also featured Joju George, Jayaram, and Nassar in pivotal roles. Looking ahead, Suriya is gearing up for Karuppu, a commercial entertainer said to revolve around a vigilante fighting against systemic injustice. Directed by RJ Balaji, the film will see him share screen space with Trisha Krishnan. Additionally, the Kanguva actor is actively shooting for Venky Atluri's upcoming family drama, where he stars alongside Jana Nayagan breakout Mamitha Baiju. From his father's steady hands to his own powerful presence, Suriya's journey continues to be one of transformation—both on screen and at home. First Published:
