Krishnan in Surya S/o Krishnan role was based on Gautam Menon’s father
– Gautam Menon on Suriya & his preparation for the role of Krishnan This was a story about me and my dad’s relationship, so Suriya understood this and
he himself pulled out pictures of my father and worked his look based on that. He changed so strikingly similar to my dad & it was too emotional a thing for me to handle.

Suriya About Playing On-Screen Justice K. Chandru: Though Justice Chandru had fought for many causes, I consider it a privilege to have got the opportunity to have been able to picturise at least one of those instances.
Personally, it is a big recognition for me to have been able to do the character of Justice Chandru in the movie.
