K'wood's heartthrob, Suriya opens up about Maatraan and his role in the film K.V. Anand has chiselled each and every scene SURIYA ACTOR

Finally, the hype and hoopla surrounding Suriya’s Maatraan came to an end — the actor’s incredible conjoinedtwins look was revealed to the media recently. “I have completed 13 years in cinema. Still, while shooting for Maatraan, I felt as though it was my first day in front of the camera,” Suriya said, with all humility. Suriya plays Agilan and Vimalan — Siamese twins who have contrasting personalities.While Vimalan reads Gibran and Mahakavi Bharathy, Agilan has a carefree attitude, boozes, and flirts with girls. It is for the first time that any actor has attempted this astonishing look. Even though there have been a few films made in Hollywood based on this unique theme, reportedly, two different actors portrayed the Siamese twins.
“Every film is a challenge for me, and my thanks to Anand for having trust in me. More than me, it is his hard work; his vision, the preparation he put in, and the way he has chiselled each and every scene — this will be evident when you watch the movie,” Suriya adds. Anand denied that this film had anything to do with Priyamani’s Charulatha, where she plays con

joined twins. “The idea for Maatraan came to my mind when, on the flight back from Sivaji's shooting, I went through a book that had the story of the Siamese twins Ing and Chang. We should have started the film in 2009 itself, but we were sceptical about the huge technical backup that was required for it. So, instead, Suriya chose to do Ayan that time.“ Set against the backdrop of the twins' life, the film carries a large social message, he reveals.
Normally in films, the differently-abled are projected in a comical or demeaning way. How different is Maatraan? “I don't see them as differently-abled at all. In fact, the twins are projected as God's children,“ he quips. So who gets heroine Kajal Agarwal in the end?
Anand laughs, “You watch the film to find out.“The film is produced by Kalpathy Agoram in his AGS Entertainment banner, and is touted to be Suriya's biggest release to date. Harris Jayaraj's music will be a highlight of the movie. The movie has been tentatively titled Duplicate in Telugu, and the Tamil as well as the Telugu versions will be released simultaneously .
