When Suriya, Vijay, Jyotika and Madhavan joined forces in a short film to show how to be a ‘hero', and not a ‘zero'. Watch
There was a time, long before the 'pan-India' trend took over, when actors could collaborate effortlessly. It wasn't seen as a big deal, nor was it made into one. These collaborations would happen naturally, without any conscious attempt to blow them out of proportion. The same was true in the Tamil film industry. In fact, in his debut film, Suriya wasn't the solo hero; Vijay, who had already made a name for himself and was rapidly rising to stardom, also played a central role. In other words, director Vasanth's Nerrukku Ner (1997) featured both Suriya and Vijay in lead roles, with Simran and Kausalya playing their respective love interests. The film was a commercial success and helped establish Suriya almost instantly as a promising actor. It didn't take long for the two stars to join forces again. They reunited in Siddique's Friends (2001), a remake of his own 1999 Malayalam film of the same name. In it, Suriya and Vijay played best friends alongside Ramesh Khanna. The film became a blockbuster and marked a turning point in both actors' careers. Though they haven't shared screen space in a feature film since, their mutual respect and affection have remained strong, rooted in a bond that predates their stardom as both hail from prominent film families and knew each other well even before entering the industry. But did you know that Suriya and Vijay collaborated once more after Friends, and that too in a short film? Yep, you read that right. Along with them, the short docudrama 'Herova? Zerova?' also featured Suriya's wife Jyotika and R Madhavan, all playing themselves. Produced and released by Suriya's Agaram Foundation to emphasise the need for education, the short film was sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Tamil Nadu. It was directed by Priya V and featured a stellar team comprising KV Anand (cinematography), Harris Jayaraj (music), Sreekar Prasad (editing) and Na Muthukumar (lyrics), making it a dream collaboration. The short film opens in a classroom where a teacher is taking attendance. While many students are present, a few are absent. Each time a name is called and the student is missing, the scene cuts to reveal where they actually are. While one is shown working in a stone quarry, another — a little girl — is running her household while carrying a baby in one hand. As the film progresses, more kids are shown in child labour, their right to education denied. Soon, Suriya, Vijay, Jyotika and Madhavan appear on screen, rescuing these children from labour and teaching them about the value of schooling, emphasising that education determines whether one becomes a 'hero or zero'. The short ends on a hopeful note, showing that their campaign has yielded good results and that the children have embraced education and are now attending school. 'You will become heroes in life only if you study,' the four of them say. Speaking about his foundation, Suriya once told Rediff, 'Agaram is the first alphabet in Tamil. Agaram is the beginning of everything connected with education. That is why we decided to have the name for our foundation.' Opening up about the decision to make the short film, he noted, 'This was done to make people aware of the importance of education. I am not doing this for publicity for me or my family. That is the reason why I have roped in actors like Vijay and Madhavan in the film; so that they can send the message across effectively. I will not be able to meet each and every child who doesn't go to school and tell him the importance of education. If I can inspire anybody to sponsor a child's education though this film, it will be great.' He added, 'It was the Tamil Nadu Education department that asked us to make a video clip urging students not to drop out of school. I thought that was not enough and why should this be restricted only to me? Why not include other like-minded actors who are my friends in the film? It is a great cause and it brought all of us — Vijay, Maddy Jo, K V Anand Sir, Priya, Harris Jayaraj, Srikar Prasad — together.'

NTK, TVK also reject AIADMK's invitation
Chennai: Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK) and Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) have rejected an invitation extended by AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K Palaniswami to join his alliance against the ruling DMK , days after Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) and Left parties turned down a similar proposal. Speaking to reporters in Villupuram, NTK chief Seeman rejected EPS' call for all anti-DMK parties to join hands, branding both DMK and AIADMK corrupt entities. "One corrupt party cannot be used to uproot another corrupt party. Fire cannot be doused with another fire; water is needed to put out the fire. We are the water that will douse corruption. We are working with the agenda of defeating both parties," Seeman said. TVK too turned down the proposal. TVK had posted a message on the party's official handle on Tuesday stating that party founder Vijay will be the 'people's favourite' chief ministerial candidate in the 2026 assembly election. "TVK will bring the much-needed change Tamil Nadu yearns for. We will create history by delivering a landslide victory in 2026 with Thalapathy Vijay as our CM candidate," the post read. TVK's propaganda and policy secretary K G Arunraj too echoed the statement that Vijay would be their chief ministerial candidate for the 2026 polls. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo You Can Also Check: Chennai AQI | Weather in Chennai | Bank Holidays in Chennai | Public Holidays in Chennai The response from TVK came after EPS said in an interview that his invitation for electoral alliance with all parties opposing DMK applies to TVK as well. Incidentally Vijay and EPS hold different views on power sharing. While Vijay had favoured the idea of power sharing, EPS was firmly opposed to coalition govt. NTK and TVK turning down the appeal of EPS comes close on the heels of VCK and Left parties rejecting a similar request from the AIADMK general secretary. EPS had alleged DMK was humiliating its allies and questioned the Left parties as well as VCK for continuing in DMK front. VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan said the remark was a ploy to create confusion in DMK alliance. CPM and CPI leaders too hit out at EPS for making such an offer after having allied with BJP.
