Surya ready for new directors

In the recent past, Surya has not worked with any debutant director and all his movies were helmed by established filmmakers. But the actor has now declared that he is open for aspiring directors too.

“If any new director impresses me with a story to which I couldn’t say no, I am ready to work with them,” the actor, who is currently busy with A R Murugadoss-director ‘7am Arivu’ said.

He adds: “A couple of my films with debutant filmmakers failed in the past. So I opted to work with familiar directors, whose skills are already proven. There is no other reason behind this.”

Surya, after a cameo in ‘Manmadhan Ambu’, is appearing in a small yet crucial role in Bala’s ‘Avan Ivan’. “Working with Bala is always great. It was his films (‘Nanda’ and ‘Pithamagan’) that established me as a good actor.”
